  Pros

  Works very well to help make basic drawings

  Not a very advanced program.

  For a free program I was very pleased. I was trying to layout a garden plan and show existing structures. I was able to accomplish my task in mere minutes.

• Probably very good, but too complex for this lay user.

  larryscofield11/19/2011

  Pros

  Seems very capable for those familiar with drafting.

  Cons

  Too complex to be intuitive for untrained user like me.

  Summary

  I am no draftsman. I just wanted a simple computer assisted drawing of a simple wood awning I want to build over a doorway. This program appears very capable, so much so that it was too complicated for me to figure out.

• Now You Can Import CadStd Drawings into Google SketchUp

  Timberwolf1110/29/2011

  Pros

  I found CadStd v3.7.3 Lite and Pro have a great new feature ... DAE Export

  Cons

  None ... COLLADA (*.dae) is an open source standard.

  Summary

  CadStd's new DAE (COLLADA File) export feature means you can import CadStd drawings directly into Google SketchUp. Thank you, Apperson & Daughters!

• Deleted in under 5 mins!

  harrisonaard18/17/2011

  Pros

  Can do lines.

  Cons

  Everything! Can't get a proper scale, relative base size, accurate measurement on the drawing, start/stop drawing, insert gap....etc. etc..

  Summary

  As much as it pains me, Google Sketchup is fantastic in comparison. Yet on its own, I'd give that only one star too. Can it be so difficult to draw some boxes to an accurate scale? I can draw it on a piece of paper quicker!

• my son took CAD in college it was impressive .

  cacwomack5/2/2011

  Pros

  i dont know exactly how cad works but this program made it easy for me to understand and easy to use , now i get the jist of what people who build things go through to get things right. this was great.

  Cons

  of course i dont know how to use all the buttons like my son does , but thast the way it goes

  Summary

  its great for putting down ideas and making blueprints, if you took CAD in school this is great to begin with, before moving on to bigger and better ideas and get the program.

• Good product for free

  pkutzer6/21/2010

  Pros

  Easy to use, OK for my purpose.

  Cons

  Can't find any fault for what I have to use it for.

  Summary

  Good basic program. If you expect a lot more, then you have to pay for it.
