Reliable and Affordable CAD software

We are very happy with using ZWCAD for all our drawing and drafting needs. It is one of the best alternatives to AutoCAD and somehow it doesn't even slow down the machine (like how AutoCAD does). The only drawback - lack of a viewer.

PROS

ZWCAD has been the best thing that has happened to the CAD industry. It is reliable, scalable and affordable software to use when it comes our design work. Priced easily at 30% less than AutoCAD, what I like the most about this is it's compatibility with importing and exporting AutoCAD dwgs and its overall performance with basic and 3D design functions. The interface is pretty similar to AutoCAD and hence minimizes any learning curve.

CONS

They don't provide a free reader like AutoCAD. Since licenses are bound to machines, we cannot easily open our drawings in a read-only format on other machines and laptops during client discussions.

Lower cost CAD program

As a sole practitioner with small budget, I needed a CAD program that was affordable and compatible with those used by others in the profession.

PROS

As a former AutoCad user, it was critical to not need to learn a new program. ZWCad looks nearly identical.

CONS

Several annoying bugs. System crashes after too many zooms, copies an object at times instead of moving it, layer control page requires a magnifying glass to read, autosave often doesn't work as they say, text edit overwrites existing text at times instead of adding to it.
