About

The only tool purpose-built to simplify design reviews for engineering teams building complex products. Use CoLab to collaborate in real time and track feedback automatically for a review process that's painless, and 2x faster. Join the worldwide wave of engineers using CoLab to design better, together. Status quo industry problems don’t need to stay that way. Long review cycles, endless emails, miscommunications over screenshots, mistakes and oversights that turn into expensive changes, tools that don’t integrate, frustrating admin tasks, etc. For engineers, designers, and manufacturers collaborating on innovative projects, CoLab is the go-to hub to easily find, discuss, track, and resolve every last piece of feedback, all securely integrated with your files so that conversations happen in context, pinned directly to the model. While you’re busy innovating, CoLab automatically tracks comments, revision histories, audit trails, reports, meeting minutes, and notifications.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The price is very competitive, as a 2D Cad program it does all you could want.
  • Low price and compatibility with CAD files.
  • Works for CAD, has some AutoCAD like features and can type commands from AutoCAD shortcuts so easy to use if had AutoCAD background.

Cons

  • Once it starts to crash, it gets worse and worse, trying to get help from 3DS is (or was,I’m my case) a complete & utter waste of time. Never even had the decency to reply, wether they could help or not. You have to assume NOT as they didn’t reply. Awful experience!
  • The application crashes all the time and you lose unsaved work, plus the time to restart the application. Horrible technical support.
  • No SUPPORT for paid version other than support groups. As free version, support was typical. When changed to pay only version - there is basically not support.
