It’s all real-time too which is a great plus; and the fact that it’s all on one centralised platform with great reporting is an astounding improvement on the mess of spreadsheets we used to use.

As much as I have used this system, there has been nothing wrong with this program. I have heard form my coworkers that sometimes there is a coding issue but I am not sure if this is something else.

I only use it for Procurement and the project management features are of no use to me as I do not need to track project related data.

Their software is fast, easy-to-use and you can see they are committed to top quality in every module. This is a very well built system that I’d highly recommend.

We also like the fact that we can run all our subcontracts along with our self-performed in the same system, which is a huge help for contractors like us.

4castplus has given us amazing visibility into everything that’s going on all the time.

A great system, with excellent customer support.

The UI is intuitive and easy to use for our field staff.

The company has great support staff. Implementation was smooth and training post go-live was very thorough for what we are utilizing the software for.

Reporting features are excellent. I would highly recommend 4castplus.

Challenging to utilize for forced account type contracts (too complicated). Cost codes don't populate instantaneously for some transaction types.

I use 4castplus strictly as a Procurement tool. It is very easy to use and very flexible.

I do not require any of the PM features so it is nice I can use only what is required in 4castplus. Support team is responsive and I have been able to get help when I need it.

I am pleased with the program. It was an easy transition from MacDraft Professional 6.

Scaleing was easy, importing Chinese words was great.

Problems with writing notes on drawings. Hard to select text and modify that which was written.

The UI looks nice and - after some getting used to - the app is quite easy to use.

Extruding lines from objects sometimes distorts and moves the objects. This happens when you extrude from corners.

I did contact “ sales” and was told this happened because I had Scales showing - wrong.

I like that it is easier to use and doesn't meed various clicks when part to a drawing is done. I like the range of options available.

Which I find tremendously fun and refreshing, like drawing on paper, only you have precision, dimensioning, and you can rearrange everything.

The user manual MDFT7-050319PB has quite a few errors and typos. I haven't checked recently to see if it has been updated.

Fantastic software and customer service, would highly recommend.

One car might be roomier and faster than the second which in turn might be better optioned and more economical - so it is with CAD items.

Still find it useful even though I made the transition to 3D. Maybe future releases could offer integration with 3D programs like SketchUp.

We don't yet have a lot of experience with it. But we anticipate that the auto save feature will be a great improvement over previous versions.

It was easy to learn, inexpensive to maintain, and had excellent graphic quality.

Newest update is even better. Very flexible printing options for a wide variety of output devices.

The help line and over the phone knowledge of the tech support is second to none. These guys are so helpful and nothing is a issue to them, the best software I have used for years.

The new version has excellent DXF and DWG capabilities and is much faster than version 6. Overall it is a great upgrade.

I really like this application and have been with it for awhile. I like the combination of precision and intuitive.

I like the ease of use and the fact that it is not cluttered with features not required for 2D drafting.

And customer service is great...always able to connect with someone who wants to help.

Great software, one of the best after sales service I have ever come across, very friendly support staff, couldn't ask for anymore help on issues, and they are usually, user error.

Fast learning curve, ease of use, and professional results.

It is a very competent drawing and drafting app that may be perfect for those who need less complex design software. The newer updates also have given it better speed and stability.

The interface is not very customizable, so there is no way to hide or move features that I seldom use. But you can't have everything.

With a little practice, an amateur like me can create very precise drawings and designs, and do so rapidly. Printouts are clean and accurate.

I upgraded from a very old obsolete version that I was used to. So there’s a learning curve for me.

Am glad it has switched to 64bit as I have a new mac this year. Have not used it enough yet for a full review but glad It is still simple to use.

It's simple, cost effective and easy to use for small and midsized projects. I would say the most important improvement would be to allow custom shortcut key assignment.

So does with this software, the nice and cartoonist like UI is great and eyes catching, not too complicated but it does a tons of stuff.
