CADintosh for Mac

User Reviews

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

  FloridaJo11/10/2012

  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

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Until this programme can open .dwg files accurately, it cannot really replace a "commercial" application like TurboCAD.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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

  mgabriele--20085/11/2004

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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.

I've ever used on a Mac.<br><br> I just developped a small electronic panel using multiple layer, ...<br> It just does exactly what I expect.<br><br> <b>Ease Of Use:</b> 4 stars, because there are sometimes too many windows on my display. Layer selection interface could also improved a little bit.<br> <b>Features:</b> 4 stars, because there is some minor interface related stuff, which could be improved.<br> <b>Quality/Stability:</b> 5 stars. Never had any crash in the current release - and I work a lot with it!<br> <b>Price:</b> 5 stars!<br><br> Thanks for this software!

• Dispair

  brainsprain8/12/2003

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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 :)
