The product offers features for editing 2D geometry and annotating architectural drawings. I also love how you can attach and import PDf files.

This was a great lower cost solution for getting into CAD. The cost is more than what we wanted to spend, but pricing is competitive.

Sometimes the program may crash or shut down unexpectedly. If the autosave feature is not enabled this can lead to a huge loss in work.

I've used AutoCad LT for 4 years and have been generally pleased with its features for my use case which is one off products and maintaining a floor plan for out plant layout.

Great for Interior Designers, Architects, Engineers and builders.

It has got almost all 2D drawing features. Creating complex multi-layered drawings are very easy.

What I like the most about AutoCAD Lt is its cost. A years subscription can be up to twenty five percent of the original program.

Easy to integrate in manufacturing applications. The printing options available are better than competition.

Auto CAD is very nice software for anything to planning,drawing and designing.

With the wide range of APIs, the solution has to offer and the ability to integrate with other third-party applications.

Still this is a good help for me doing my drawings.

It's enough to accomplish most design tasks and the pricing is a lot more attractive.

Some 3d elements and quick short cuts are not available but it really doesn't effect our daily work flow.

AutoCAD LT is a great light weight option for reviewing and revising, CAD drawings. Take-offs, measurements, clouds, etc are all very straight forward and runs quicker than regular AutoCAD.

It has no 3d capacities, so it is for no use in the architecture office anymore.

Again, I do not personally use it, but I have not been told of any negative features about the software.

It's an excellent piece of software which essentially strips down the standard Autocad version by removing a few features like 3D modelling.

The software provides single-user licensing, so it may be difficult to use as a business organization.

It is still CAD and is something that takes time to learn. Because of the trimmed down features it can have some odd errors where objects are not read/supported, so they can be edited or removed.

AutoCAD LT is a user friendly, all encompassing design software. The ease of use for our draftsmen is great.

It is an application that I can quickly model an easy 2 dimensional object. I can access this model I designed on the web and mobile.

I don't like it when I have to change plot settings so I try to avoid it.

Ease of use and the ability to install it on a tablet.

It permits to have an extensive library of already drawn items. Instead of copying and pasting from previous drawings, we can draw it once, save it in the library and call on it whenever we like.

PlanSwift is very functional, easy to learn and, best of all, it’s affordable.

Our quality of estimates has improved due to the quality of the take-off.

I will recommend to others, to save time for their Quantity Surveyors.

Used to do quick take offs for estimating and budgeting purposes. Took a bit of time to get used to all of the tools but is very useful now.

Easy to use and understand. The way it allows me to organize my take-off is fantastic.

The other downside for me was that I had to have my computer rebuilt, and the PlanSwift files were stored in a place on my computer that is not routinely copied when an IT tech rebuilds the computer.

Terrible customer service. I usually call and have to leave a message and someone might get back to me in 24-48 hours.

So far I am fair happy with my experience overall.

It's another takeoff software that helps save lots of time which means more bids and more work. We had a good experience with the helpful support team,  so we would recommend trying it out.

Planswift provides intuitive, easy to use features that make completing takeoffs simple, yet effective.

Very good value for money compared to the other packages on the market Integrates with excel and being able to import your own template is great.

Great software for organizing and implementing budget information.

The Auto count tool never worked. As well as the customer  service which was poor.

Great for getting a quick, accurate count for material. Easy to add  pricing into the programs.

Plan swift has helped us plan, budget, and estimate projects successfully.

When looking into takeoff software this is the clear winner. It integrates well with other programs such as BuilderTrend and it is very easy to use.

Easy to use and it is also available for certain customizations as well. It is very accurate in to details  which is good.

I don’t have any comments regarding PlanSwift that I would consider to be negative.

The value on this program is what I'm most impressed with. It has all of the capabilities of many other more expensive estimating software.

Great reporting and customization capabilities.

Intuitive, easy to use, easy to set up, and their customer support team was very helpful.

Overall this is a fantastic product and it would be amazing if it could be upgraded to allow more than one aet of plans to be open.

It will certainly get the job done, but could improve.

Helps to provide more detailed estimates to valued clients and decreases the need for cost increases during the construction process.

A wide array of file formats supported for importing plans from builders and its potential for integrating with other  construction management and collaboration tools.

Easy to use, accurate if you are with your inputs.

Planswift doesn't make it easiest to edit distances. Also I have found it that some automatic settings for measuring distances are confusing.

This never used to be the case (I have used the software for ten or more years). It seems every time they get bought, the problem gets worse.

Ease of use and integration with Sage Estimating. Ability to have multiple takeoff areas and name them accordingly.

Customer support is great. I would recommend this as an option for those looking for takeoff and estimating software.

It is difficult to find files when there are a lot in one folder.
