Good compromise between power and simplicity
leftfootleashedJune 30, 2007
Pros
Some very powerful functions, good manual and "eguide," simple to use considering its complexity.
Cons
Quite a steep learning curve (although this is to be expected with this type of package). Did find one bug - when a group of items is entered for editing by double-clicking rather than from the context menu, the program often refuses to exit the group, leaving you unable to edit the drawing at all, and so losing any changes since the last save - highly annoying but can be got around very easily.
Summary
Doesn't work.

After downloading and unzipping, file doesn't open when I attempt to open it.
