    "Does a decent job for one time or simple projects."

    November 10, 2012  |   By FloridaJo

    Version: CADintosh 7.5.3

    Pros

    Only $30, but I was able to use it for free, not sure if the few features disabled was what you get when you buy, but I never needed them anyway.
    Not a very steep learning curve. If your going to do many CAD drawings, probably you would want something that has fewer steps to draw say a square.
    To draw a square, you have to draw a line freehand or put in coordinates, draw a perpendicular line, then draw parallell lines from both of those.
    Like I say, fine for the hobbyist who has only a few drawings to do a year, but not something I would want to work with all day.

    Cons

    Too many steps for simple shapes.
    Very few tutorials out there (I may do some) but you have to read the manual to learn this. (Although I learned it in a weekend).

    Summary

    I was able to do the job without registering or buying the program. For a few jobs a year, this is sufficient.

    "Need to open .dwg files"

    Until this programme can open .dwg files accurately, it cannot really replace a "commercial" application like TurboCAD.

    "Well, you just need to try this with a fresh eye!"

    March 26, 2005  |   By milouchien

    Version: CADintosh 5.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I have been using Cadintosh for several years now to make detailed joinery drawings. I have always been impressed with its scaling flexibility - there are no other products to my knowledge near this price range where you can draw in several different scales on the same sheet of paper.

    As for support, I can only say that Thorsten Lemke was very helpful when I phoned him a couple of years ago from the UK to Germany with a query - he actually had the help line routed to his mobile for constant support. (I hope he's given that idea up actually, as I wouldnt like to see him suffer burn out!)

    The thing to remember is that for a serious CAD user, its not the ease of drawing that is important really, its the ease of REVISION that is important. Also, if , as in my business, you are making a lot of curved or carved work and other technical joinery such as handrailing, there is no substitute for an accurately printed TEMPLATE. Cadintosh allows you to print out templates as big as a football field if you have enough paper, ink and scotch tape.

    Any CAD program is going to be hard to get to grips with initially, but this program can give extremely professional results if you take the time. After all being a draughtsman is a profession in itself, so you can't expect to pick it up in one sitting unless you have some real talent. Ive given f our for ease of use as I think its only fair to compare it from the viewpoint of a seasoned user of several different CAD programs

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Ultimately dissapointing, from the mangled wording of the intro and techniques (with incorrectly headed pages !) to the programme's hesitancy when performing ''trim''procedures,in some cases it simply refuses to undo an action ,thereby rendering all drawing actions to date invalid . It LOOKS like a Cad programme ,it is priced attractively,.. BUT ultimately ''It don't do what it says on the packet '' ! Save up,beg, borrow or enrol to afford the real deal (ok ,so I have experienced the delights of Vectra works and pc's Autocad too ) .

    "Needs improvement-especially the manual"

    October 24, 2004  |   By bossa nova

    Version: CADintosh 5.2

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    Have used Vectorworks and love it but it's so expensive. This looked like a bargain. Only problem is I spent two hours trying to draw what should have taken me 5 minutes even while stepping through a tutorial. I am not impressed.

    This guy should hand off writing the pdf to someone else who is more skilled at writing manuals. "Cadintosh an introduction.pdf" should be "Cadintosh Part two" He should have someone write a quickstart guide. Who friggin' cares if the decimal point is an international standard. Thats a piece of minutia that should be left in the reference manual. Not in the "Introduction".

    I found that while stepping though the instructions many things didn't behave the way the developer indicated that they should. At first I thought I was doing it wrong so I reapeated the steps finding that even the repeat processes were not consistent.

    I will keep watching though. It's improved from the last time I tried it. Besides he makes Graphic Converter which is a GREAT program.

    "Not easy, but highly functional"

    May 11, 2004  |   By mgabriele--2008

    Version: CADintosh 5.1

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I'm bumping my eval slightly to counter an earlier bonehead posting by someone who couldn't make Cadintosh "scale". It's scaling is incredibly flexible, selectable in several places, and (in my opinion) easy to use. I have some issues with the user interface being less than intuitive, but it does what it's supposed to and for a very reasonable price. I don't have a technical drawing background and have turned out plans that have been readily signed off by building inspectors.

    "One of the most powerful programs ..."

    November 14, 2003  |   By morini4me

    Version: CADintosh 4.4

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    ... I've ever used on a Mac.

    I just developped a small electronic panel using multiple layer, ...
    It just does exactly what I expect.

    Ease Of Use: 4 stars, because there are sometimes too many windows on my display. Layer selection interface could also improved a little bit.
    Features: 4 stars, because there is some minor interface related stuff, which could be improved.
    Quality/Stability: 5 stars. Never had any crash in the current release - and I work a lot with it!
    Price: 5 stars!

    Thanks for this software!

    "This is a great program"

    October 9, 2003  |   By Yo.Mama

    Version: CADintosh 4.4

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    This is a great program. There is a great tutorial by the programmers at http://www.lemkesoft.org/pdf/CADintosh_An_Introduction.pdf
    I took the 20 Minutes to read the tutorial and I did 5 nice plans including angled walls, measures etc.
    The demo version is virtually not limited and only shows a nag screen at startup. And $32 for such a sophisticated CAD program is a great price in my book. Got my 5 stars for sure!

    "Dispair"

    August 12, 2003  |   By brainsprain

    Version: CADintosh 4.4

    Summary

    This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
    I simply dispaired. Not having any experience with CAD programs, I found the program impossible. I know what a coordinate is and all that. But all I wanted to do is have lines to scale for a simple house plan. Could I figure out how to do that? No way because I don't have all day. Did the manual help? Not on your life. Guess that's what you might get for $33 :)
