Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This review will be from a very different perspective: that of a total newbie. Thus, unless you are new to CAD, this review is not for you. I have for some time been interested in getting a CAD program to design some of my ideas. But the price of admission was way too high. CorelCAD is not cheap, but it is in the range and appears to be a full blown product. The other reviews, you will note, are by seasoned CAD users and they are generally outstanding. I have no doubt that the product lives up to professional reviews. I have also experimented with it and found it fast, accurate, very flexible, and full featured.
My only complaint is one particular to new CAD users. The package comes with a disk and nothing else. Not even a note on how to install it. Which should be obvious, but I have had the same problems that at least one other noted in that the installation ultimately ends with a note that something was unsuccessful and to call one of their specialists. As did he, after this "unsuccessful" attempt, I checked my programs directory and there it was. I opened it, with no problems since. Of more significance is that (I surmise since the program is new) that there is no documentation online as to the functions, how to use the program, nor any help information whatsoever. It is not even listed as a program in these sections of the Corel site. That is not a fault of the program, or even of Corel, but it is a barrier to entry for those of us who might need a little guidance as to what the program does and how to do it. I don't want it to hold my hand, just give me an overview, even an index. Corel actually is usually very good about this. You will note on their site not only tips, and help, sections, but even tutorials for their other programs. I assume that these will be on the way for CorelCAD in the near future.
Thus overall, taking a guide from those already proficient, I think that this will be an excellent program, both for those who do CAD professionally, but also for those who have occasional need or like to experiment with ideas. It's price point is very favorable to the occasional user and a true gift for the professional. But it does need some documentation for those who are new to CAD.
