ActCAD Software Reviews & Insights

When I was trying to establish my practice, I needed CAD software that was affordable, capable, and not tied to a subscription. Having ActCAD gave me the ability to pursue my dream of practicing architecture, do my job, and survive "Life" during a time in history when society provides little to no support or even encouragement for sole practitioners. ActCAD has enabled me to efficiently produce very professional contract documents, details, and 3-D models. Just know that proprietary software will detect if (dgn, dwg, etc) drawings have been created or edited with ActCAD. I personally don't see this as a reason not to use ActCAD.

I use this software on a daily bases. I design new houses as well as remodels and additions.

Some dimensions move for no apparent reason. 3d modeling could be improved upon. As a 2D program I use it daily and prefer it to 3D modeling programs for drawing details.

I use the software to keep a record of the projects we are involved in, such as layouts, schematics, technical drawings and whatever else the project requires.

I've not had that much experience with it, but find it totally professional, intuitive and very straightforward to use
