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.”
DT

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.”

“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.”

Cons

“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”

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!-)”

“It tends to get confused about what was most recently opened, and I wish there were a way to tag and catalog classifications of parts and search for them rather than just by the name.”
SF

Stewart F.

I don’t give myself a title

Cons

“I stopped paying maintenance because quite frankly I was getting nothing useful for what I do to justify paying it, but the downfall there is, I now also no longer get updates for my Mold Software XMD which was constantly making improvements. ”

“I have to pay for a supplemental software because quite frankly, the modelling in KeyCreator has gone completely stagnate. ”
