Pros

“I would really like the same attention for creating electrical designs - wiring drawings in the mechanical design, single-line diagrams, wiring length 2D drawings and wiring size calculations.”

David T.

Managing Director

“The game changer for me is that working in the cloud mitigates so many issues we had with hardware computers - security, data backup systems, collaboration, and system updates.”

David T.

Managing Director

“Its cloud-based platform is a major advantage, providing convenient access across a wide range of devices, while the quality of customer support further enhances the experience.”

Zach A.

CDO

Pros

“There is a steep learning curve, which is to be expected due to the amount of functionality. Once the basics are understood it is straightforward.”

Ian P.

Technical consultant

“I really liked the tool, with a bit of preknowledge and time, you can handle the features that are interesting you and I was able quickly to do what I needed in different features but I quickly understood that I was using only 10% of the tool.”

Antoine Q.

Testing project manager

“This is a really powerfull tool allowing to do almost everything that you want around the design in general.”

Testing project manager

Cons

“Edge selection is also challenging sometimes as it prioritizes face selection rather than edge selection, making me zoom in and orient parts several times to select the edge.”

Ben K.

Senior Industrial Designer - Owner

“There are a lot of things missing such as mate option (in S.W. you can mate axis ) and threads , also the import option for surfaces is not good”

Yarin M.

Mechanical engineer

“The Standard Plan does not include Company managed data and release management to fundamental things for everybody using CAD seriously, although they are lonesome riders!-)”

Jörg K.

Freelancer

Cons

“The interface is not user friendly.”

Sebastien R.

CAD Designer

“It is also not compatible with all operating systems, making it difficult to use on certain platforms.”

Mohd N.

Lecturer

“The downside is that this software is very expensive, so it makes it difficult for smaller businesses to afford it.”
