![]() You have to do everything separately through a series of different tool editors within each tool. This software does not operate like that. When I want to trim a line that over laps another line, I want to select the trim option then trim the line I want to trim, that's it! From my experience so far the auto trim is simply useless. It might be because I'm swapping over from different software after so long, but some of the simplest tools such as trimming seem to be overly complicated. This could be used to create some really complicated and in depth drawings. It seems to be optimized well and I haven't found any bugs as of yet. It looks professional and has a lot of features. I currently use DraftSight, however this is half the price for essentially the same thing. The best thing about this software is the price. To be honest it costs more because at the moment it's a better software. ![]() Unfortunately I will be sticking with DraftSight for now despite costing double the price. I use that on a daily basis and it's extremely easy to use and is centered around the same mechanics as 2D CAD software. Vcarve (which is a vector CNC software) is a great example of what I mean. Simplifying some of the standard tools in my opinion would be helpful. However updates / improvements are needed in my opinion. Also, BricsCAD's equivalent of DraftSight 2019 Premium, BricsCAD Pro, costs $1105 Perpetual or $442 a year subscription, just a little less than DraftSight Premium.Kommentare: This software has potential to be amazing, especially if it stays at the same price. Maybe I shouldn't wait.Įdit: With a little research, I am led to believe, though it is not stated explicitly, that BricsCAD is completely compatible with current DWG. However, the longer I wait, the more important the perpetual license becomes. It's cheap enough for me to overlook the subscription conundrum for now. So, long story short, if DraftSight 3D is worth a damn, I'll pay for it. Unfortunately I am constrained to using current DWG format, and it looks like Brics stops at 2013 (Website just says "dwg" wikipedia says "dwg 2.5 to 2013".) Anyone know if this is correct? Now though, I don't know how much I will need a software in three or five years, why should I pay full price for it? I'd be happy to amortize a perpetual license, but fuck me if I'm going to pay hundreds of bucks for a software I might pull up four times a year, then lose all access to my data once I decide to hang it up.Īt this point, BricsCAD Platinum is looking like the best option for a perpetual license at $1560. Thirty years ago I would have had no problem with a subscription model. The thing that really is really annoying me, is that I am looking to slow down or maintain my business, not grow it. ![]() ![]() I still like it for the look and feel - I can whip out nice looking images without having to mess with setting up renders just for conceptual modeling. ![]() I got Sketchup originally to maintain compatibility with some of my old clients. One of the main reasons I switched to DraftSight in the first place was the permanent license. Funny, with DraftSight 2019 Premium(3D) at $599, the $1000 a year difference.less than a hundred bucks a month.heh. I used to use AutoCAD all the time, but in semi-retirement, it's not worth it to me to pay thousands of dollars. If I was going to cough up $3995, I'd just get AutoCAD and be done with it. Yeah - I use the 2D drafting 90% of the time, 3D 10%. ![]()
