What do you like best about Ares Commander?

If you have ever used the other major CAD platform you will be right at home using ARES Commander. I have been 100% satisfied with the performance and ease of use. The major plus is one can actually own the application vs. paying for a subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ares Commander?

Nothing that I can think of, I have been 100% satisfied with the feature set and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Ares Commander:

Give it a try, it is the base CAD engine for Draftsight as well as CorelCAD, probably many others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Ares Commander solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do 2D simple drawings used in designing conceptual layouts in the material handling industry. Most of my customers are not versed in CAD so I typically just send them a PDF of the layout. ARES Commander allows me to submit professional drawings that my customer can view on any platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
