I am only a designer of equipment and factory layouts and do not use it very frequently. After a long gap of time, it takes some time to recapitulate the commands. It would be really very helpful if you come out tutorials to draw various shapes of objects using the commands of your software. > > I am a consultant in the field of Chemicals production and have to design different equipment, the complete plant, utilities equipment, plant layout. I am 80 and would like to publish drawings of the equipment based on my experience of nearly 58 years. The problems I face if I have to design equipment based on totally a new concept, particularly in 3D format so that the client has clear idea of the equipment. Now certain Statutory authorities insist on submitting layout drawings in 3D. I would like to learn more on drawing complicated objects in 3D. ----- ### "Excellent drafting software. S/W has excellent drafting functionality and compatibility with other" — 4.0/5 > **Binit** | *12 August 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: ActCAD is a 2D \& 3D CAD software with functionality of the industry leaders. > > **Cons**: Need to improve the features.

It is the closest that come to AutoCad that I have ever seen for a whale of a lot less money. > > **Cons**: Well, like the other cad it is very comprehensive and complex.

Mainly I have work in customized block library which I got here \& that too without any extra expenses. Also it is a light weight software so can be used on my simple Desktop PC also. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2057281/actcad-professional?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2057281/actcad-professional) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
