What is annoying ?:
In my case (Win Vista) the aero windowed snapped getting away what has already annoyed me at ViaCAD 6. Once the program is finished peels aero again. I wanted VC9-3D also to use, among other things to the Render Engine. While this works, but I can not screw up the resolution. Too Bad.
It is problematic to insert also sketches to this then abzupausen. One has this always move on the Z axis downwards, which is not always so work right away. The drawing passing - thus creating 2D working drawings - is solved somewhat tedious and libraries with threaded holes or similar not really work.
What is good ?:
I use to create parts for rapid prototyping program. 3D printing we say yes to currently. When it comes to data to pass ViaCAD really useful. It has no one complains, the data could not be read. The data can be read into SolidWorks, and then the modules are animated smoothly. A real plus point. (In SolidWorks not mind in ViaCAD!)
I find the software enables the user in terms of learning curve quite simple. The commands are always explained in the program and after some training time drawing goes quite fast from the mouse. Especially in 2D mode. Everything snaps with activated filters catch a beautiful, all possible shortcuts can be defined. You can work with splines (freeform cures) and so create the most impossible and possible forms.
Conclusion: The software is more suitable for product design, as for the creation of fully dimensioned and provided with gimmicks tolerances ect. Production drawings suitable.
For the little money the user plenty of thoughtful CAD Power is on offer. When I think of what right ProfiSoft costs you can not go wrong at EUR 160.
