Tom from Texas. Super impressed with QCAD-PRO

Post by tkyler » Thu Sep 21, 2023 11:24 pm

I've had occasion to work on some really large residential projects in the US (interior design), $50-100M plus. We used Vectorworks...full color drawings, etc. I've since gotten out of that line of work and am working on some open source aircraft plans for a small group. Some of the contributors are using Solidworks of course, but after playing with QCAD-PRO for a few months now and deep-diving into its workflow, I've decided to use it to manage the drawing set, which we estimate to be between 60-80 pages.

It took a fair bit of experimenting to define a workflow and templates that was comparable to the workflows I used in Vectorworks and of course a lot of the parametrics and referencing tools tools aren't in QCAD-PRO, but for 'non-collaborative' projects, I don't find this to be a burden at all, simply a differing way of organizing things from the beginning.

The more I get into it, the more I find there's almost nothing it can't do rather efficiently to generate very high quality 2D drawings....sometimes with a few extra steps sure...but that's where the scripting can comes in....and back to my point...I'm super impressed with what QCAD-PRO can do and its design. Thx!
