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.
