 CAD is easy to use June 4, 2006
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Anyone that think's DesignCad 3D Max is hard to use would think any CAD software is hard to use. I purchased DesignCad 3D Max a few year ago, and though I had 30 years of design and drawing board experence, I too thought the program was hard and maybe even impossible to use.
After 3 months of trying, I gave up and took two semesters of AutoCAD from the Community College. I now find 3D CAD and other CAD program very easy to use.
Thus, how hard a program is to use depends on your knowledge. I suggest anyone getting a CAD program to first take a few Community College classe, or at least get someone that knows how to use CAD to get you started. Once learned, you'd never use a drawing board or anything else again to do your designs or sketches.
Good luck
 DesignCAD is a Great Value March 25, 2006

I am currently using an evaluation copy of DesignCAD. As a counter-point to the previous review, I think this program is no more difficult to learn than any other CAD program I have used. There are a number of good tutorials on the DesignCAD Unleashed web site. DesignCAD has many features of higher end CAD programs costing much more and as such it does take a bit of effort to learn. I particularly like the fact that IMSI has included the BasicCAD language and the fact that DesignCAD can be programmed and accessed from any program language that can reference COM objects. The program is not perfect and has a few anoying short-comings, but overall I think this is a great value. I plan to purchase it.
 Hard to learn January 13, 2006

This is very complex software for a beginner even though it is advertised as very easy to learn. I later bought the training CD for $50 and it teaches none of the basics needed to use the software. The training does tell about the differences between older versions and version 16. The support on their website does not work nor have they replied to any of my correspondence asking for assistance. I have worked for days to get very limited results and will probably remove the software from my computer and chalk it up as a $100+ experience.
