the help section is not very informative for the AEC portion of the program. Working with the AEC portion of the program, it seems to be very limited in terms of what you can do or it might just be my limited experience with Progecad as I can't seems to find information on how certain commands are suppose to work in more detail. Working in 3d, commands are not very robust and if you have multiple views, the ucs coordinates are not the same from one viewport to another.

What I like progeCAD so far: -Very similar software to AutoCAD in comparison to other programs I tried out. BricsCAD is a very close 2nd. The key difference is Bricscad is very difficult to plot, however bricscas doesn't crash as much, or does not crash at all for that matter. bricscad ability to open files from exployer as a seperate running program like autocad is awesome, and a lot more affordable; at roughly $100 a year, it's a major plus. -progecad ability to snap to hatches is biggest plus -perpetual license, not like Autocad&others is key MAJOR DISLIKES - I was under the impression when I bought progeCAD, I would be able to load it on my pc and laptop, and use it interchangeably (not at the same time) without having to uninstall the program and reinstall it every time I use. (fyi, pc is windows 10 and laptop is winddows 11) considering a refund. -It crashes everytime I open the file from windows exployer every morning when I start working. -When I have progeCAD open, I can't open another cad file from windows exployer without bringing the entire file as a block. It's fustrating that I have to open the thru progecad and do a copy and paste with certain blocks from follow up file. -The mail symbol flashing, on bottom right corner is fustrating. I open it to resolve missing attachments, and the list never goes away or update properly. It would be good that when I detach the jpg, pdf , etc; the list would update to reflectthe change. Resolve Action is still required and won't go away until you close the program and open it again. -I wish you could uninstall and attach cad, pdf, images from the image manager, or xref manager, instead of opening the Reference Manager to do so. - Editing any lengthy text, like general notes, is very fustrating. I can't set the indent parameters without making a mess of the text, can't add bullets, etc. -Other various minor items as well. -RRC

Still evaluating ProgeCAD. Used AutoCAD for over 30 years and see some differences that will take time for me to master. Biggest issue is popup menu that appears using Trim in a zoomed view. A popup menu should not appear when I trim a line or ellipse after I select the boundaries. This is the most irritating feature of ProgeCAD.

The instructions weren't very clear. But they got me started. But after the initial step I had to figure out everything myself. Just to be clear, only the initial step was correct.

I have been an architect designing custom homes for 30 years and have used Autocad most of the time. I started with release 13 back in the 90's so I am very familiar with the platform. Progecad is pretty much the same although with glitches here and there...... not quite as refined IMHO. I still use Progecad over Autocad because of the perpetual licensing. I would like to see Progecad refine the platform a little better.

I am only using this software as a back up to CADDirect2026 Pro or CMSintellicad. ProgeCAD is missing several features that I use consistently so I am not using it full time as of now.

I had downloaded the free version and everything was fine. After my free time lapsed I ended up buying on line. I didn't receive a code, serial number nothing. No email about my purchase. It is extremely difficult to contact anyone and i finally left an email and two days later got my serial number. Terrible way to purchase or sell a program.

refresh is slow, so far nothing else sticks out.
