Pros/Cons
Pros
- We then have to digitally stamp each page and being able to change the date and comments in the stamp so quickly is awesome. It integrates well with PROCORE which is an excellent Management Software.
- It is easy to work with drawings and documents. Very user friendly and has very good features that help with drawings and documents management.
- This program is fantastic for Quality control mark ups, etc. I like its licensing type as it is not subscription based.
Cons
- It is unbelievably frustrating. And if your trying to quickly review plan pages before a bid deadline this is TOTALLY the wrong software and you will be quite angry with it.
- Occasionally have trouble with printing to the program, but not frequently enough to stop using it as my PDF maker.
- Customer support is the worst I have ever dealt with.
Pros
- You don’t have to attend their classes because they have a great library of videos to help with the learning curve. They also have a great community of people working to help you solve problems.
- This is a great program, even for users that are beginners (like myself). They have great tutorials and the program is very inexpensive.
- With adding on features like attenders you can really walk into your home and have complete vision about it. My clients are really very happy after having a picture real view of their dreams.
Cons
- With so many features, we were worried training materials would be hard to come by for our staff.
- Everything, I hate every single thing about this software. It is not smart whatsoever.
- People developing the software should be people that actually produce drawings for a living not some software geek that has no clue or concept about what it takes to do a full set of drawings.
