### Pros

"I think some Pros could be: supports the creation of 3D parametric components, which is essential for designing complex objects and assemblies; is available on multiple platforms; is designed to be modular and extensible"

"Claerly It's a simply and easy Viewer software, and you can read a lot of different cad file type."

"Excellent tool for designing structures in detail, elaborating analysis parameters for deformation and strength calculations. And it's still possible to do it on less powerful machines, so to speak."

### Cons

"Snap function work very bad, dimensioning won't work and things go into error what ever you try to do."

"it is not comparable to high-end programs, on a professional level it is not yet usable"

"It can't compete with SolidWorks, which I use for client work, but of course SolidWorks can't compete on the price."
