2020 Review

We use this everyday for cabinetry design, proposals, and presentations. It is very nice and pretty user friendly. I like that it is almost like a one stop shop program.

PROS

The features that we use the most is the ability to use the catalogs to our actual cabinet providers. We also draw and quote various times a day along with presenting. The ability to print of floor plans and elevations with ease is a great feature. It is a very easy program to learn and integrate.

CONS

Features that could be improved is being able to dimension elevations that could be in hidden view before printing. Also being able to make an elevation without a wall.

Prokitchen versus 2020

Prokitchen allowed change of sizes on countertops (IE overhang at islands, etc.) without putting a hatch over the countertop. Prokitchen allowed resizing of appliances (30 refrig, 33 inch refrig, etc.). Prokitchen automatically allows the wall that would otherwise block your view to disappear along with whatever was on the wall. This allows better depth as you can pull back from the "cut". In 2020, you can cut the view, but if it is between the cabinet and the island, hallway space, etc., you are stuck tight to that object.

PROS

The ability to bring in outside catalogs like cambria, silestone, viking/subzero, etc. and design with them. The legend is nice (numbered pieces versus all of the std nomenclature.

CONS

It needs the ability to get square feet of countertops. the ability to see into the design from a wider angle/ larger perspective. Ability to create a note and copy it, hold the note to use in the future on another design.

Continued Improvement!

Overall 2020 live is a much better experience than the previous (non live) versions. The program does not crash like it used to.

PROS

I appreciate the ease of use of the program, all the design features that allow for quick and efficient production of designs. I see how 2020 as a company continues to improve and listen to the feedback that its users provide.

CONS

A quickbooks, or other accounting software, integration would be nice to see. The rates option in the catalog manager is hard to use, it would be great if there was a manual, a cheat sheet, or other instructions to give users an idea of how to properly set rates.

Reasons for switching to 2020 Design Live

Because I needed cabinetry specific software and autocad was too broad.
