November 26, 2024Exceptional Service Axonware offers an outstanding level of service . Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely dedicated to understanding customer needs.
Robert Ovington
October 15, 2024I frequently purchase ProgeCAD and find your staff very helpful and prompt when dealing with issues. Software is excellent value for money. Will purchase more licences in the future.
Andy Pitt
September 6, 2024I have been using ProgCAD Professional since 2011 and use it on a daily basis. It is important for my work as a naval architect and marine technical author. A first rate program with no bugs and all at a fair price.
Benedict Krauze
August 24, 2024As a result of using the 30 day free trial of Progecad 2025, I received a call from your sales. I was so impressed that you would take the trouble to do so. I have been a user since 2021 and am now prepared to upgrade. Excellent personal service and better than the web site
Michael Burke
August 15, 2024I find Prodgecad24 excellent. However, it has a few short comings as follows: 1. Slower to print pdf's that Autocad 2018 2. There is an issue displaying and printing imported OSI Maps 3. There is a limited number of windows and door designs to import in Easycad. It would be brilliant if I could design the windows and then import them into the drawing. These are small issues. I am very happy with ProdgeCAD 2024.
Hilary Doyle
August 12, 2024Have used 2D CAD for over 20 years - ProgeCAD for the last 10. It is a very sound product.
Mariano Amelio
August 10, 2024The latest version of ProgeCAD 2025 has confirmed all my expectations of improvements and quality software. Highly recommended, particularly if you want to say goodbye to AutoCAD and its unjustified expensive cost.
Stig-Erik Hedlund
August 8, 2024Hello! I have been using ProeCAD since 2020, first version 2020 and then version 2021 which I still use, it has worked without any problems If I could wish, I would like to have a function similar to the one found in autocad mechanical for calculating beams with multiple supports and loads Text translated from Swedish to English via computer program

Robert Marshall
August 7, 2024Great features for little cash
Emil Knabe
August 6, 2024I find ProgeCAD a capable alternative to much more expensive alternatives. Price/performance ratio is simply excellent.
Mike Trench
August 6, 2024Similar to AutoCad which I was trained on however there seems to be an issue with snaps. Can be very jumpy when trying to snap especially when zoomed in. Other than that it suits my needs.
Andre Mackey
July 23, 2024Having moved from Draftsight & NanoCAD, I've finally found a genuine AutoCAD replacement for the rare times I utilise CAD software. The software sells itself and with the perpetual license, is very good value for money. I'm a very happy customer.
Graeme McCall
June 28, 2024Great product. Does everything I need and more and doesn’t cost a fortune. Wish I’d changed to this sooner.
Anna Hubert
June 25, 2024I have been using ProgeCad for a while now and would never return to AutoCad! ProgeCad is not only affordable but what's most important is that it is available as a perpetual licence. I am an interior designer so I use Cad to draw floor plans and elevations for my clients and ProgeCad is just wonderful at that. AutoCad subscription is overpriced and not worth it in comparison to ProgeCad. I'm so delighted I finally have my perfect CAD software without breaking the bank. The customer service at Axonware is amazing! Thank you guys! Keep it up!
Rogee Pugh
June 25, 2024Having used autocad since the 80s with previous employers, and over the last 20 years as a self employed person, I was at the point where I have paid a small fortune on upgrades and new revisions. Therefore a little dubious about switching over to ProgCad. Surprisingly it works very well and I have had no issues using it. I am far from being fully conversant with it, but overall it does everything I want plus plus plus.
Neil Sheward
June 25, 2024Excellent Cad program does everything i need at a very reasonable price
John Floyd
March 3, 2024Great software and great value to match.
Richard Harris
March 2, 2024Really pleased with my 2022 ProgeCAD software. Much better value and faster than AutoCAD and only wish I had known about it sooner
James Nash
March 1, 2024Used ProgeCAD for years. for 2D detailing. works just as well as AutoCAD at an affordable price for a one man band.
Ian Nash
March 1, 2024Since getting ProgeCAD for my small business it has help deliver on a number of projects. Very happy with the software and is great value for a small consultancy firm.
James Gilchrist
March 1, 2024I have used progecad for years and find it a genuine alternative to autocad. Also it has gained many valuable features over the years it can handle most types of files and is particularly good working with pdf files. It is also very cost effective
Peter Mycock
March 1, 2024Not perfect but a good value alternative to autocad.
Niall Daly
February 29, 2024ProgeCAD is a great program and has served me well. Axonware are great to deal with and always ready to support your requirements . A big shout out to Dan and Julie Kind Regards Niall Daly
John Hickey
February 29, 2024Easier to use and more straightforward than AutoCad
Marguerita BEATTY
February 29, 2024I am very happy with ProgrCad
david cameron
February 29, 2024an escape from autocad!
Donal McNamara
February 29, 2024Overall I find ProgeCad easy to use and flexible.
Mark McDonald
February 29, 2024As good a program as Autocad at fraction of the price
Mariano Amelio
February 29, 2024I approached ProgeCAD a couple of years ago, with the clear intention of reducing the cost of my business without losing quality. And definitely, it worked out! ProgeCAD is an AutoCAD without the crazy cost and the 'unfair' subscription obligation. You can buy ProgeCAD, and the license stays with you forever, if you want to renew it you can if not you won't lose what you bought. Unfortunately, it cannot be said the same with AutoCAD. I highly recommend ProgeCAD, a great alternative to AutoCAD Full or Light.
john cunningham
February 29, 2024Amazing product. Amazing value for money, got it as a self employed sole trader, will get additional licenses if I expand in the future.
Sergie Brodski
February 29, 2024For our purposes, ratio performance/price is perfect. We are using PROGECAD already for more than 5 years.
Anon Ymous
February 29, 2024Excellent alternative to AutoCAD with the extremely important benefit of being able to uby a perpetual license instead of paying rent to re-use the same software to the likes of AutoDdesk. Highly recommend for a small/single practitioner architectural practice
Michael Oconnor
February 29, 2024I've found Progecad easier on the eye and easier to use than my previous software. I'm more comfortable trying functions that I would have found difficult to navigate previously. I have recommended Progecad to 4 colleagues who may in time make the switch. Thanks Progecad
Antony Raftopoulos
February 29, 2024Amazing product. I swithced from AutoCAD to ProgeCAD in 2018 and never looked back. Every new version is a step towards perfection. I recomend it 100% and when I teach CAD I always suggest ProgeCAD. I wish there was a MacOS version (under the same license for people with 2 computers).

David Nicholso
February 29, 2024Excellant software Wish I had discovered it earlier even just for all the money it would have saved me Thanks
Jim Teehan
February 29, 2024Migrated after more than 20 years with Autocad. I am not a power user. I use it for schematics, room layouts and technical furniture using simple 3d drawings. I use attribute data extract for schematic details. It all works very well. It took me some timeto get used to the riibbons but the CLI is very familiar. Very happy with the change
Alan Youngs
February 29, 2024Very good and reliable software. Very similar to AutoCAD, thus making the swap from AutoCAD to ProgeCAD extremely quick and easy. Much better investment than AutoCAD.
Ashley Reid
February 29, 2024Love this software absolutely brilliant. This cad software I highly recomend to anyone especially at its bargain price & extra features. This is actually much better than Autocad and is aiding in my ability to design plan study understand and progress. A big thank to the Proge CAD team a good work and service.
Rob Sutton
February 28, 2024I have found ProgeCAD to be easy to use and very well designed.
Richard Hay
February 28, 2024Software generally very good. Tried to get some lisps to work but failed. A decent electrical schematic package add on would be good. Tried the ones that are existing but they ended up being very manumatic which I was having to do anyway.
Ron Rimmer
February 28, 2024Have used ProgeCAD for approximately 5 years for 2D drawings after having used AutoCAD LT for 20 years - its very easy to swop over and the best thing is once you have bought it you own it - no more fees unless you want to upgrade to the latest version which is very reasonably priced
Jim Dixon
February 28, 2024Good low cost alternative to AutoCAD, we've used Graebert Ares CAD before and we've found ProgeCAD to be just as good but better value. Does everything we need it to.
Michael Bishop
February 28, 2024I've been using ProgeCAD since 2020, coming from multi decades of being an AutoCAD user, lisp writer and although ProgeCAD does have some limitations on zoomed in line details ie lines may appear unstacked or unsnapped when they are actually stacked/snapped, on the whole its running at 99% of AutoCAD capabilities but at a tenth of the price, hence I won't be going back to AutoCAD! There is not enough profit margin in my line of work anymore to warrant the silly expense of AutoCAD. With ProgeCAD I can do a lot more than I could with Standard AutoCAD, such as 3D buildings modelling & rendering, without having to buy extra software modules. I'm Old-School for screen layout, so my ProgeCA
Rodney Way
February 28, 2024A number of years ago, after an extensive evaluation of .dwg alternatives, I switched to ProgeCAD Pro from AutoDesk AutoCad Lite because its cost had become prohibitive. Since then, the program has worked well and reliably. Any problems encountered have been dealt with by the excellent Technical Help office in Como, Italy using email with, normally, a quick response.
Martin Powe
February 28, 2024I am gradually "mastering" the relatively minor dissimilarities in addition to the highly effective improvements compared to AutoCAD. I am finding the software very useful and, for the cost, an absolute bargain in all honesty. You put Autodesk to shame in my view. In summary, very pleased I've found AutoCAD's equal at a reasonable price.
Adele Earnshaw
February 28, 2024One of the considerations for me when I was deciding whether to leave the company I was working for, and strike out on my own, was the industry reliance, across the board, on CAD software. The software package used by most companies, it seemed (begins with 'A' but I won't mention them here) was a hefty figure to lay out, even for a 12-month subscription. So, I found my way to use various authorised, and unauthorised, CAD packages all with varying degrees of success but they were all incomplete or glitchy. I came upon an advert for ProgeCAD in 2017 and looked into it. I downloaded the 30-day trial and was blown away. The 'command structure' and 'tools' are instantly recognisable and it soon
Anthony Gardner
February 28, 2024Excellent product, good value for money. Has some features that AutoCAD does not, makes it easier to use in model space. But most important, I own it.
Keith Adamson
February 28, 2024II've been using the latest release of Progecad since September last year, and am generally very pleased. It seems to do everything that Autocad can do, although I find it a bit slow to load - but that's probably more to do with my rather ancient desktop. Like with any software I have a number of small irritations, and they may be easily fixed anyway under "preferences", for example I just found out how to switch off what for me is the annoying dialogue that popped up if there were overlapping elements where I try to make a selection. What remains: Drawing no. 1, always seems to be there if I load Progecad before then opening the file I'm working on. After I finish and clo
NEIL WALKER
February 28, 2024I have been using AutoCAD release 14 since 1999 so I was always going to struggle a little. I understand that ProgeCAD is very similar to AutoCAD but AutoCAD has had 24 years of upgrades from the version I have been using, so I would probably struggle with both anyway. On the whole I am very pleased with ProgeCAD, especially the pricing. I will be using it to produce plans for extensions, and I do like to dabble in 3D. I am particularly struggling with the lack of manuals. I cant seem to find good explanations of things like the layout tabs. I just used to open a template in paper space with 1 model space viewport, draw my plan, scale it 1/50xp, go back to paper space and print it off. When
Alex Radley
February 28, 2024Great alternative to Autocad
Gwyn Nicholls
February 28, 2024Very similar to Autocad in many respects and for the price an excellent and affordable way to go if you need a comprehensive drawing package.
John Stewart
February 28, 2024My first introduction to CAD using " Computervision" software followed by "Prime Medusa" and finally Autocad 12. Progecad provides all facilities required for 3D modelling along with some features which assist very well when associating with projects where Solidworks is involved and more recently when exporting to STL files for 3D printing. Finally, I am completely satisfied with Progecad and unlikely to revert back to Autocad
Nicholas Bukorovic
February 28, 2024I just want to say that I've been using ProgeCAD for a few years now, and I have to say that I'm blown away by the sophistication and capability of the software. To be clear I haven't used or accessed all the functions and controls because I wouldn't describe myself as a "power user", but as general day to day CAD software it's faultless, and comparable with the best software out there. In addition, as one of the most competitively priced software packages in the market, you certainly get a lot of "bang for your buck".
Darrell Carter
February 28, 2024I have been using ProgeCAD for a number of years now and find it to be easy to use and just as good as AutoCAD for the applications I need. I have used other Intellicad based cad programs but they do not seem as refined as ProgeCAD. This is an excellent choice for any individual or business and the price is definitely right. AXONWARE has touched base with me on a regular basis, so I do like that. Can't go wrong with this software or Company. Give both a try.
Anthony Southby
February 28, 2024I only use a few tools on ProgeCAD so I have not tested the software fully. But for what I use it for it is excellent. I have no problems with it. Considering it is a fraction of the cost of AutoCAD, I am very happy!
David Scott
February 28, 2024Excellent product and customer support from Axonware and ProgeCAD - brilliant alternative to AutoCAD for Mac users
Keith LOnghurst
February 28, 2024I have used many cad products and found ProgeCad to be one of the easiest and powerful software for my design needs and at the price it cannot be beaten. When I have been stuck with an issue the help has been first class.
Chris Howse
February 28, 2024Perfect for the cost-conscious CAD user. Pretty much everything you need in one product for a fraction of the price of the more well known brands.
Chris Miller
February 28, 2024I am an occasional user of ProgeCAD, having spent many years using AutoCAD Lite. Whilst I'd become reasonably proficient at AutoCAD, I find ProgeCAD much harder to use, but if I spent a lot of time customising it, it might be better. It also seems a bit sluggish. So for me, as a fairly un-typical user I'd rate it 'medium' - I can get the job done, but it always feels like rather hard work.
Chris Millis
February 28, 2024Very good system. Meets all my needs. Cannot think why anybody would go down the AutoCad route
James Nash
February 28, 2024I have had several versions of this program. The latest upgrade has introduced a bug. It does not release a selected item without multiple clicks on the esc button. It is all but unusable for efficient work.
Simon Geraghty
February 28, 2024All good. Does everything that we need for a fraction of AutoCad lite
Phil Radford
February 28, 2024Having been an Autocad user for years I took a little time to get used to the few changes in command's but once you get to grips with it can't tell much difference and does everything I need. Just find the viewports process a bit confusing

Stewart Orchard
February 28, 2024I'm pretty impressed with ProgeCAD. This is a great low cost CAD package with minimal learning curve for those already familiar with Autocad.

February 28, 2024Works well but does crash regularly, SAVE YOUR WORK!

February 15, 2024ProgeCAD combines affordability with comprehensive functionality. Dan and the entire Axonware Ltd team provide international support, a service I've personally experienced as a Structural Engineer in France. Many thanks. All the best, M. Jarkas, MCIArb (JKM Engg).

February 1, 2024In all my dealings with AXONWARE they have been friendly, professional, knowledgeable in the software offerings within their portfolio and provided pertinent advice and recommendations.
Stephen Anderson
November 3, 2023I first learned AutoCAD back at version 12. We were fed up at the cost of AutoCAD, no shock, and so tried ProgeCAD. Seamless change over. A big plus was having the two copies. (only one to be used at a time, fair enough) So one on an office computer and one on a tablet I can take to site with me. At Redhouse Forge we design and make feature metalwork. So might be 3m tall stainless gates, or a vanity unit set in the wall or traditional wrought iron, but having the drawing there on site so I can point "this bit!" or make alterations while there can be very useful. We bought a second copy. Our neighbour, furniture designer, bought a copy. Our structural engineer bough
Martin Old
October 7, 2023First trained up and started using CAD in the 1980s when my employer installed huge Intergraph Workstations in the design department of the very large steelmaking company I worked for. Prior to that it was all drawing boards in the whole department. As time marched on we migrated to MicroStation and we eventually removed all drawing boards bar a few and were also using AutoCAD. All together I spent 40 Years before retirement on these forms of CAD systems. So I am very familiar with Computer Aided Design and the design environment as a fully certified chartered mechanical design engineer. Since retirement I have been using ProgeCAD as it was affordable to me a retired non-earner and has e

September 13, 2023ProgeCAD is a no brainer. I use it for importing BIM files along with it normal ACAD functionality. Fraction of the cost of Revit LT and a perpetual licence to make it even more cost effective. Happy Days!
Graham Owens
September 7, 2023Great work thank you Julie & Dan
Andrew Howley
July 4, 2023In 2018 I was looking for cheap Cad program, when I came across ProgeCad 2018 which I have been using till now. If you have used AutoCad the interface in ProgeCad with few differance's, Is the same. You can buy, ProgeCad for under £500 and with a Perpetual liceance, unlike AutoCad which you have to subcribe. If you what to design Concord than use AutoCad, for us that live in the real world use ProgeCad. By using my ProgeCad 2018 key I have now upgraded to ProgeCad 2024 for under £200 and still can use ProgeCad 2018, try it you have nothing to lose. Andy styx.
John Calvert
June 22, 2023Just dropping you a quick note to say how pleased I am with progeCad 2024. Found you on line and downloaded a demo while looking for an AutoCAD type program. Once i got round to trying it, I was straight on to my MD to get it purchased. Like everyone says its is great value for money especially for a smaller company like us. we can't justify the cost of an AutoCad licence, but a one off progeCAD licence gives me the ability to open all drawings sent in by customers, especially the STL / STEP files everyone seems to use now . It does everything I needed it to do and so much more. it really is a "no brainer" , can not recommend enough.
Roumen Ivanov
May 10, 2023Thank you! The best services!
Brian Williams
May 1, 2023A very good substitute for AutoCad especially on cost of being able to buy the programme. It is very similar to AutoCAD to use. I would definitely recommend this program. Brian
Ian Aveyard
April 20, 2023Have found the switch from autocad seamless, especially now with the 2024 update, great functionality at an affordable price. I am able to do all the things I need to and have so much more to explore. Can't recommend progeCAD enough as an affordable CAD programme. The team at Axonware have been fantastic all dealings with them have been prompt and hassle free.
Graham Sheldon
April 11, 2023Awesome piece of software, miles better than AUTOCAD if you ask me, it does everything I need, and probably more, I've got to use it for a while to get the feel of it but as of this moment in time it is the best CAD software that I've used. I will always recommend Progecad to any friends or work associates over Autocad. The Staff at Axonware are very easy to deal with as well, I had a couple of questions that they dealt with, sorted everything out for me. Cheers guys
Anthony Southby
April 6, 2023I have been struggling for several months to find a good alternative to Autocad. Nothing could compare to its functions and nothing could save me money. Until I found Progecad. It has all the same features as Autocad and it is easy to learn the applications. It has also saved me an absolute fortune in license fees, with a perpetual license. I am really grateful for that. The support and service I have received are excellent, and Axonware has gone above and beyond to help me. Highly recommended!
Paul Hanlon
January 19, 2023Excellent product, excellent support.
David Dixon
December 13, 2022I've been using ProgeCAD since release 2014 together with AutoCAD Building Design Suite 2013. ProgeCAD 2014 I found to be a great alternative to AutoCAD as it was a near seamless transition, It did have some drawbacks, one being that it did not have a 'Deselect All' command on the right click menu. I highlighted this to ProgeCAD support who I found to be very helpful in respondingresolving any issues I encountered. I upgraded from 2014 to 2016 and purchased a Network Licence allowing me to work at home and in the office without having to migrate licences. I have now upgraded again to ProgeCAD 2022 and the improvements in this version are noticeable, the addition of creating your own worksp

Sean Walsh
April 25, 2022ProgeCAD is a super product, which has excellent functionality - perpertual licence for a fraction of other software - I would recommend highly. I have used it for over a year with zero issues.
Donal Kennedy
April 5, 2022Things have gone well... Progecad has been a solid replacement for Autocad offering as far as I can tell like for like functionality in a perpetual license package. Axonware have been responsive and helpful when install changes have been required.
Donal Kennedy
March 7, 2022Progecad is a nice alternative to autocad... and from what i can see it's functionally the same. Support from Axonware appears to be solid so all's well. With a perpetual license less than a year subscription with autocad... you can't go wrong!
Andrew Jittarat-Pitt
January 28, 2022I have had contact and done businesses with Axonware on several occasions over the last two year. In all cases, they have been very professional and exceptionally helpful sorting any problems and queries. I recently updated ProgeCAD 2022 and it all went fast and seamlessly. Great people to deal with.
Michael Sheehan
January 24, 2022Progecad is every bit as good as AutoCad and represents excellent value for money.
Rodney Way
December 31, 20212022 version now installed, activated and working well. The floating text editor has gone but is replaced by an editor in the Ribbon which works well as long as you remember to activate the ruler. I took this opportunity to change from the CAD Classic command layout to the full Ribbon but then changed to Beginner Ribbon because I missed the drop down menus, especially under FILE. What I like is that ProgeCAD Pro provides these options. The iCare help system works well because you're in contact with a real human being and now I've got a screen video recorder installed, I can send a video of any problem I have and they will respond likewise with the solution. I have a PC with a fairly low spec
Angelo Meehan
February 12, 2021Excellent replacement to Autocad at a fraction of the price.
Simon Clapham
October 9, 2020Another excellent product from Progecad with fantastic backup support and service from Dan, Amo and the guys from Axonware. Progecad2021 is an awesome upgrade on the previous versions once again, well done lads.
Kim Lovick
September 28, 2020I'll give it a bash is what I thought, at that price it may be useful. HOW WRONG COULD I BE - - - - - IT IS AMAZING. It has all the features of AutoCAD and a lot more, commands are simple but it is also stable, fast and the PDF to DWG is just unbelievable. In 1/2 a day I am converted, I will never be bled dry by Autodesk again - Hello progeCAD, I'm hooked.
Kenneth Blinstone
September 16, 2020Excellent service, with immediate response to my email and follow up a few days later

Dereck Evans
January 15, 2020A bit early to review the new 2020 version as only just bought it but on first glance and quick play, it looks and feels as good as ever. progeCAD over the years has been and still is outstanding value.
Mervyn Shipman
January 14, 2020Julie has always been very helpful at Axonware. Sorted out my latest query straightaway. Brilliant!
Richard Bell
November 1, 2019I was looking for something to replace autocad due to what I regard as - Autodesk's outrageous behaviour - ceasing to issue activation codes for older copies of their software, even when it still works fine on windows 10 and was purchased on perpetual licence. So I tried several other cad packages including Projecad initially on the 30 day trial period. I am only a fairly basic level cad user and so I haven't tested the most advanced features - I don't need them anyway. It took me half an hour or less to configure projecad to look identical to the autocad , (which I am used to), and there was no learning curve. It reliably opens my fairly large .dwg files with all my existing drawi

October 25, 2019Very happy with the quick response time about activating accounts, Thanks Dan.
Graeme Barton
October 18, 2019It's great, does everything i need. Like the 1 off payment rather than subscription nonsense. Previously used Draft sight and prefer this
Bob Maginty
September 26, 2019Great product, just like Autocad at a fraction of the cost.
Richard Williams
June 14, 2019Excellent service. Highly recommended.
Tony Farrer
April 10, 2019I got the company I work for to invest in a cad solution to replace AutoCAD LT. I found ProgeCAD 19. I had a look at other software but Progecad seemed to fit the bill. We got three licences and have issued to my colleges. I have many years of working with AutoCAD LT 2007 and found the transaction far more simple than I thought. The additional features are most welcome especially the pdf converter. My colleges are not conversant with #CAD but are picking up the basics very quickly. Excellent product with a permanent licence!
Thorvald Johannes Pedersen
April 4, 2019ProgeCad is a nice piece of software. I don't use it as my primary drawing software. But when I use it and for what I use it (among other convertion of PDF drawings to dwg/dxf), then it works perfectly for me. And then - it can minimum the same as AutoCad, if not more and is much cheaper. So I can only recommend ProgeCad as an alternative to AutoCad and similar, especially for small / one-man companies, like mine. For example for architects who has a one-man company I think it would be an advantage to use ProgeCad. Other than that, the service and support is also very good and friendly.
Richard Catton
March 13, 2019A fantastically quick response from their support team and my issue resolved within a couple of hours.. thank you
Andy Proverbs
March 7, 2019Overall ProgeCAD is a very good alternative to AutoCAD 2019 especially at the cost and the fact its a perpetual licence! Seems to be improving all the time, very familiar interface. Great for DWF to DWG conversions. Well done ProgeCAD.

February 11, 2019An excellent alternative to a more well known drafting software program, of which I previously used the LT version of. I have found the migration to ProgeCAD to be a seamless experience, and other than slightly different icons and terminology (which are intuitive), I found I could use it straight off with no additional learning necessary. I have no regrets in my choice of this software, and have absolutely no hesitation in rating it with top marks.

November 24, 2017As a regular AutoCAD user I moved to ProgeCAD when I started my own business. For my purposes the software offers everything I need and more, and represents exceptional value for money against the mainstream products. As a UK distributor Axonware have been very supportive throught the process and respond quickly in the event there are any issues. I recently experienced an issue arising from an incompatibilty of some of my resident system software and the issue was quickly resolved with Axonware's assistance to my compete satisfaction - this greatly minimised the downtime to my business activities. Overall I am delighted with the service and support on offer.

September 30, 2017I liked the program a lot, very familiar layout, I use Autocad full version, and I felt quite at home with it. Imported a few files , worked on them and exported them back to Autocad seamlessly. I do quite a bit of work nowadays in 3D, who doesn't, and I personally find the Autocad on screen cube very useful, being able to keep track of where I am and switching to new coordinate systems on the fly with a few desktop clicks is crazy quick and has become part of my workflow. The absence of this in Progecad is a minus for me. In every other way I really like the program and on pricing, it just cant be beat. I would and I shall seriously recommend it to anyone working on a Mac and looking for a

September 22, 2017The package is very easy to learn. A new user can produce quality results quickly. It exchanges standard files reliably with other design packages. The support team was very quick to respond to my support requests and provided excellent customer service.

August 25, 2017Great professional drawing software at very affordable price.
Paul Nicholson
July 17, 2017As a long term (27 years) AutoCAD user I was very impressed with ProgeCAD, there is little in the way of any learning curve, the iconography and usability seem so familiar and the value for money just speaks for itself. Look forward to future versions of this software too!
Keith Findley
June 21, 2017ProgeCad is the best software ever, it does everything we need for a small electrical manufacturer and more. The PDF Add-On functions are great, with lots of other features for such a low cost.
Eamon Cavanagh
May 17, 2017ProgeCAD has a revised layout with a few changes to the tool items. Once I got into them I was fine. I use the Classic format and that does everything I use CAD for. I have found over the years (switching from LT in 2010) that ProgeCAD is at least as good as LT. The order system with Axonware has provided very good service when ever any minor problems have occurred.
Paul Barnett
May 17, 2017Excellent software which does everything other cad software does and more. I am very glad I bought this product. Service provided by the sales team was first class and very helpful too.
Cheryl Craven
April 5, 2017Fantastic software for the price. No forced subscriptions. It does everything you need for a fraction of the price of AutoCad. Exactly like AutoCad. Custom hatch patterns can migrate easily. Support team respond very quickly too and are very helpful.
Bryan Scott
March 1, 2017An excellent and competitively priced CAD programme with a first class technical service when a problem arise Indistinguishable from far more expensive alternatives.

October 27, 2016Excellent product for a fair price with prompt and efficient help on the rare occasions it is needed.
Mahesh Jethwa
October 21, 2016A good alternative CAD program at a reasonable cost!
David Owen
September 30, 2016This is a very cost effective alternative to AutoCad and I have used it for around 5 years now. As with all CAD software, it suffers isolated gliches (but certainly no more than AutoCad!) - overall it is very good to use. The staff at Axonware are also very responsive if any queries arise.
Alan Goodare
August 18, 2016Excellent software. Familiar features and commands. Virtually no learning curve for AutoCad users.

August 10, 2016I am delighted with the ProgeCad software I bought last year. The price was commensurate with my personal design needs and the use of the software flows simply and seamlessly from my former training in AutoCad.

August 8, 2016I have used progeCAD 2016 for some months now and I find it does everything I need, neatly, efficiently and without any trouble. What more might one ask?
Bryan Scott
August 1, 2016An excellent CAD software programme that does everything one can ask at a very reasonable cost and no licencing hassles. Works well with first class and prompt technical backup if the need arises
Trevor Woodhouse
June 1, 2016Brilliant piece of software and a fraction of the cost of AutoCad, well worth purchasing, good help resources as well.
John Boaz
April 11, 2016Excellent program. Very pleased with it
Mohammed Ravat
June 22, 2015I would recommend it to colleagues and employers. I would probably give it a 5 simply because its a complete package but doesn't weigh my system down like autocad does.
Jonathan Yeandle
May 26, 2015I need to switch frequently between Mechanical Desktop R6 (AutoCAD 2002 based) and another similarly capable CAD with good command compatibility. I'm currently using ProgeCad 2009 to tutor a friend with no previous CAD expertise and he is picking it up well and enjoying it. ProgeCAD gets a big thumbs up from both a long time AutoCAD user and the new recruit to mechanical CAD. It is truly capable enough for professional use, easy for AutoCAD users and fits the hobbyist's and infrequent users pocket too.
Daniel Holman
May 6, 2015It is 95% as capable as auto cad, and not as heavy. Only troubles have related to hatching and sensitivity of snaps, the latter I could probably sort out through settings.
Graeme Ironside
May 1, 2015Been using Progecad since 2006 and I am always delighted with the ease of use, functionality and quality of the software. Both Progesoft and Axonware are also very helpful and quick to assist with any queries.
Garry Barnes
March 30, 2015ProgeCad is a value for money package, and I use it for updating legacy data. I have had no formal training and it seems quite easy to use for what I need.

August 8, 2014As an ex AutoCAD user I found it easy to use and powerful. The interface is easy to use and I was able to import an old DWG file, which was the main reason for the download. It has a good professional feel and I would recommend its use to both casual and professional users. John
