This software is more capable than other similar software

No cons have yet been found, I only had a positive interaction with the software.

so much faster than any CAD plugin on the market. It's the only sensible choice if you are working with scan data several hours or more per week.

there are too many tools to name but one that really stands out is the amazing sketching functionality in this software

It's expensive. But there's nothing else like it and nothing to compare to. The efficiency compared to other tools has been well worth the cost

I have seen this software grow and evolve since these first versions (in 1998). It's amazing how the tools and functions have evolved (with the evolution of 3D scanners and computers). It is for me, today, the most powerful and efficient tool for my daily modeling (meshes & CAD solids). I also use other software which are for me only secondary.I was able, thanks to this tool, to deliver hundreds of projects with a very appreciated result.

The most significant for me is the user-friendliness of the interface. Dialog boxes not too overloaded with functions and options. The hybrid design mode that allows you to work with meshes, surfaces and solids. The mastery and accuracy of reverse engineering with control tools.

I don't use any design assistant (Wizard) to keep control of my designs. I also prefer to stay in a 3D sketch rather than a 3D mesh sketch. This leaves more freedom in the design of 3D curves. Still lack of being able to deactivate the snap filters in this mode (to be able to move a curve point without snapping to a background element). Atlas texture mapping missing (not possible to edit the map generated in DX). Many features are gone since Rapidform2006 (surface editing mode, displacement map generation, grey scale modeling (engraving), and many other).

I enjoy using this software. Looking forward to see its new features with the force of Oqton.

Being a user of Design X for 10 years, it is always enjoyable. It is a dedicated software, not a patch. You can connect your scanner and finish your design by usşng Design X only. Freeform surface modelling is a piece of cake for it. But, you have to know what kind of a workpiece you are working on. It is a perfect solution in competent hands. If you are familiar with a CAD software, Solidworks, Autocad, Inventor etc. you can easily learn Design X.

I know that Design X developers does not spend time on features which are already in CAD softwares. However, sometimes I lack for features like hole library, sheet metal modules etc.

10 out of 10

I love the layout of the tool bar and how easy to find the tools. Help menu is amazingly useful. Lot of information included that can be access with click a button.

3D sketch and transferring the 3d sketched could be little bit more better. Sometimes I can't transfer the 3D sketches simply because of the geometry of the object or surface I am working with.
