PowerCADD Reviews

I love using Power CADD every time. I like it even more than yesterday. It actually helps in creating the drawing look more than a drawing. I have become a big fan of the detailing it has

Well, here are a few feedbacks I would like to bring across Resolution is way too blurry. It needs to be fixed. also everything goes back to default again. We have to put in extra work team needs to work

Power CADD is solving business problems.

It is functional and relatively OK to onboard myself and other uses.

Sometimes it is slow to monitor and process information

Autonomous processes and deliberation with colleagues

As any other architect I am totally kind a visual. In my projects from more the 100,000 feet has the vesatility and the powerful of AutoCAD. But it is more enjoyable using it and has a been a delightful to work with it, works beautifully on my Imac-pro's display and on printed paper looks a perfect quality.

The last version is not compatible yet with Catalina or Big-Sur.

Architectural and Engineering full projects.

The power of this program lies in its straightforward, elegant interface: line weights are shown on white paper backgrounds as you draw, and are not predetermined by layers. One-key shortcuts for the most used and important drawing tools, like Trim, are exceedingly faster and easier to use than other cad software. It is very easy to start using and understand. Being able to work with a Mac in lieu of PC is an added bonus.

There are a handful of tools that PowerCADD does not have.

I would recommend this product for those interested in a beautiful output, quick production, and easy software learning for 2D drawing work (especially for any medium to small firms or projects).

The problem of creating an aesthetically-pleasing drawing is quickly solved with this software. The ability to do this speeds up production enormously, and allows for more people with a range of technical skillsets to work together in the same program. Creating text, for example, requires very little setup and is done rapidly. Another feature, "ghosting" a background layer to draw over, is incredibly helpful. Printing to pdf and printing to a plotter is straightforward. Any issues encountered are solved quickly with the software creators with quick phone calls or emails, which is excellent customer service.

Powecadd is a versatile software for beautiful architectural drawings, color renderings including photographs as part of the presentation. No need to use photoshop. Turn off layers and keep working on a construction drawing. It would be the perfect software if 3D illustrations will be possible, but not yet included. The only negative comment is that it is not compatible with Catalina IOS. I can’t update my Mac. I am an architect and I’ve been using Powercadd for 23 years and I am in love.

It is not compatible with Catalina IOS, I can’t update the Operating system of my MAC or I lose the software.

With Powercadd you can developed the whole project, from an schematic color render to a final construction document.

It is very easy to navigate and understand. The learning curve is not very hard to grasp It has the best 2D automation drafting out there for the price and pure scope of learning to use the product with ease.

My only complaint is that seems to crash frequently so save your work!

I would most defintely recommend using PowerCADD. It's easy to undertsand and implement. It makes jobs easier to explain to customers when you can understaned it better "visually",

Better business design for clients not to mention my own personal designs for home projects are easier to implement.

It's easy to navigate and understand the platform. I used it more for reviewing so the functionality was easy for me.

Not my personal experience but others that rely a lot on it would mention the software crashing randomly prior to saving their work.

Speed of entering data; interface; relatively short learning curve; powerful tools which help speed up entering CAD data; has object intelligence; easy print interface; easy symbols library creation; easy to develop sheets for printing; easy to save PDFs;

Only works with Apple Mac computers; DWG saving too basic

For those considering PowerCADD- get a Mac! Apple computers offer relatively worry-free computing as well as excellent tech support. If you still have Windows you can use Bootcamp to install Windows on your Mac.

PowerCADD speeds up the production of technical plan documents, as opposed to hand drafting. If one gets the "expert" package then one gets WildTools™, which is an add-on which features many useful, powerful tools. Line cleanups, snaps, dimensioning are all handled with ease and are quick. PowerCADD is highly recommended for those who need to produce construction documents and very fine detailing. It does this better than any BIM tool currently out there. The DWG translator is basic- it will save entire sheets, but the text handling isn't perfect- title block text appears basic, and its formatting gets jumbled. It's OK importing DWG drawings, but make sure that what you are importing is the version AutoCAD that PowerCADD supports.

The best about PowerCadd is the software includes features such as customizable tools, layer management, object-oriented programming, and the ability to import and export a variety of file formats. PowerCADD is designed for use on macOS operating systems and is known for its user-friendly interface and high-quality output.

Where it may lack in comparison to other CAD software. Here are a few examples:

1) 3D modeling capabilities - is primarily a 2D CAD software, and while it does have some 3D modeling features, it may not be as robust as other 3D modeling software.

2)BIM (Building Information Modeling) features - lacks BIM features.

Ease of doing 2D drafting for all phases of building and site design | documentation

Not much, because it does not play too well with the AutoCad world of DWGs.

I'm able to design and build rather complex building systems for my clients in a brief time frame while providing high-quality drawings.
