I have owned every version of DesignCAD since it's inception (somewhere around 1989). As a rudimentary CAD program it's very good. But if you start doing 3D diagrams of complex forms and include images, DesignCAD Just cannot handle it. In older versions you could run basicad subroutines but they are no longer usable. Complex images do not print or save correctly with the drawings. Only in the last version does the PDF export work, and I won't buy the new one. Most importantly, their tech support and customer service is completely and totally worthless. With each new upgrade new glitches appear. If you are new to CAD software, DON'T START WITH THIS ONE!
