Hi all,
Coming from a manual drafting background then switching to AutoCAD in the 90's I am very comfortable with AutoCAD and customising it at work to be more efficient. Years ago I bought my own copy of AutoCAD LT to draft plans on but found it considerably slower to use than AutoCAD due to it's limitations. With the price of AutoCAD these days and the way they have gone from perpetual to subscription to named users it really is out of reach for me as I now just need to draw the occasional plan every now and then at home. I looked into several "AutoCAD Clones" like Bricscad and progecad but the price is still a considerable outlay. Then I came across QCAD. I had never given it much thought before but after downloading the trial I decided to purchase it. I am very impressed in how much more efficient it appears to be in the way you draw with it. Looking forward to using it more and learning more about it from here. The forum seems very active and supportive. The manual is nicely put together too with some classic linework to boot.
Cheers

I too have come from an AutoCAD background and after years of paying for a perpetual licence and having no option to continue it other than paying subscription, decided to bail out with my 2020 release that now runs happily in a VM..
You'll definitely enjoy using Qcad the support and help in this forum is unbeatable..

Thanks John,
I am feeling good about having bought QCAD Pro and excited to start learning how to use it.
Still being able to edit my previous AutoCAD drawings is a big relief.
