Happy casual user

I'm just an electronician that needs to draw some mechanical parts, enclosures, front panels,..etc. I've tried the demos of about a dozen of similar softwares. This one offers the best results and performances for your bucks ! At less than the tenth of AutoCAD it delivers almost all its functions, and -at least for me- it covers 150% of my needs. On top of it, the pdf importer let me get accurate drawings out of the manufacturers' datasheets : I use this feature all the time. Last but not least : I was able to use say 85% of ProgeCAD features after a mere 5 hours of work.

Pros:

Interface easy to use Interface very complete Steep learning curve Nice documentation Pretty fast, even with large drawings Usefull pdf import into dxf When it crashes (rarely) you loose nothing. All your work is recoverable.

Cons:

Documentation, although very usefull, is outdated (version 9 only) Sometimes crashes to desktop (non repetable though), say once a week. BUT I'm not absolutely sure it's not Windoze's fault (I only have this with Vista, not with XP sp3)

G Bryan review of progeCAD 2010 Professional

The program has features I have not used. For the features I have used, I find the product usable and would recommend it to other users.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Pros:

Anyone familiar with AutoCAD will be comfortable with the commands used in progeCAD. The files can be shared with AutoCAD by using the export command - something I learned by trial and error. It has a good price and an excellent feature/cost ratio. Customer service was very helpful when I first started using the program in the 30-day trial period and during the purchase and registration process.

Cons:

ProgeCAD runs a slower with large files such as those containing images or contours. The issue is acknowledged in the user help files that suggests it helps to turn off the big layers. I find some differences in booting the program by double-clicking a dwg files, opening the program icon or clicking a shortcut icon. The program sometimes becomes non-responsive and requires a computer restart.

Review of ProgeCad

This product is ideal if you only do a small amount of CAD drafting and don't want to spend a ton of money. If you are going to be drafting all day as your primary role, it may not be the program you want.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Pros:

It is very affordable and serves for basic CAD needs. The support was very good and we were able to move the software from one computer to another when the original computer had a hard drive failure.

Cons:

The software crashes frequently. Save OFTEN. There are not as many keyboard shortcuts as other CAD programs. Some operations take longer.

progeCAD for shop drawings

I would recommend it to anyone looking for Autocad compatibility for a fraction of the cost.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Pros:

The cost of progeCAD definitely beats out Autocad. Its features are comparable. And it writes DWG files, so drawings can be exchanged with Autocad users. I have been using another, cheaper cad program, DesignCad, which is great, but had its limitations. ProgeCAD is far more feature rich. It is also very easy to purchase online. And a single license allows you to install on a desktop and a laptop.

Cons:

For me, there was a bit of a learning curve from the other program I had been using, but that is to be expected - it has more features. I would like to see parametric capabilities built into the program.

Rreasonable Alternative for Budget Minded Professionals

This is the software I would recommend to someone needing a full power drafting solution but not willing or able to meet the high cost of Autodesk products.

Ease of use

Customer support

Pros:

The low price combined with the full fetures: I have used AutoCAD for years but when I was laid off and went start my own business at the first of the year I didn't have $4000-$8000 to put down on software, this product does what I need with much lower initial cost.

Cons:

A small learning curve: this product is not identical to AutoCAD and there are some commands and functions that are referenced differently, but that is to be expected.

AutoCad - ProgeCAD

I believe it is a good solid program. Most of my work is 2D so can't really give a good account of the 3D capabilities of the program.

Customer support

Pros:

I had used Acad from 1984 until the late 90's when I could no longer afford it and switched to ProgeCAD. For my purposes, ProgeCAD does everything I have asked of it. Any problems that I have had, have been taken care of by support personnel. I do not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Cons:

There have been a few bumps in the road, mainly with printing and printers. These problems have been solved with the help of the support group.

I would like to see more hatch patterns. (architectural standard patterns) the more the better. This could be a good selling point for Proge CAD. I would be happy to send you a PDF of some examples of my work.

Pros:

The thing I like about Proge CAD is that I was able to learn it's operating functions right away. I also like that fact that I am able to creat PDF files of my work. The cost for Proge CAD was a big bonus for me in deciding to purchase it. I look forward to hearing about any new innovations that Proge CAD is doing.

Cons:

I would like to see more creative hatch patterns.

Works like AutoCAD, easy to import/export to other people's CAD systems, had one glitch but the software support was right there, and the price is right.

Pros:

Let me state that my reference point is Autocad. Then, progecad is every time closer to the target, satisfying almost all important requirement. Remember now that the support people are always (at least for me) available to answer the worst question a human being could think about. Every problem I faced, I never been alone.

Cons:

If you are looking for autocad, you need autocad.
