Pros
it has most of the cad functions
Cons
drawing functions did not always work on 1st attempt
Summary
its ok as a free product
Probably very good, but too complex for this lay user.

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

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!

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 .
cacwomackMay 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
pkutzerJune 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.
