I appreciate a low cost CAD option. I do find your website a bit hard to negotiate. But worth it in the end.

I like the software and I appreciate the upgrade discount. However, with each new upgrade, I find small issues that it takes me a while to figure out by myself. I don't know how to contact anyone to answer simple questions. Example. I have been able to publish multiple pages of drawings to one file. The new version doesn't allow me to do that. I am sure it is a setting somewhere. But, who do I talk to to find that out?

I purchased hobbycad but did not receive an activation key. After a complaint, they did send the activation key and the product is working well so far.

CADHOBBY is the best introductory CAD software for srtudents and hobbyists. Others are cheaper but this CAD software is based on IntelliCAD and therefore looks like AutoCAD. IntelliCAD provides a cute user interface and is very comprehensive. I had a problem with my license and customer service was very kind, responsive and helpfull.

I am a retired cad operator (Architectural documentor) and when friends ask me to help them to design their house extension or garage or landscaped area. I am able to help them. Thank you CMS. Regards, MC

Very similar to another product, but only a fraction and of the price, still excellent graphics and a user friendly ribbon. Great value

Customer support responded quickly & was very helpful with liscensing and download issues I experienced. The program opened a large (1.6GB)DXF file approximately 3 times faster than another VERY well known CAD program. Unfortunately my system is not equiped to adequately process that amount of data so I couldn't give a fair evaluation on the performance when working with the file but the UI is clean and doesn't feel bloated. Very competitive functionality as far as I can tell in a short time. Looking forward to further evaluation.

Academic licenses are provided to students holding an email address from the academic institution ONLY. This is a published requirement, and you've deliberately failed to comply with it without even inquiring us on such matter. Applications from free email services are NOT eligible to get a student license for free.

Good process except you could do with fewer emails. One to confirm the sale, another to give the download and activation code.
