"ZWCAD is the perfect solution for engineers."
5/5
What do you like best about ZWCAD?

ZWCAD is a lightweight and fast CAD software. Its user interface is quite clean. It opens large drawing files quickly. It has all the necessary features for designing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZWCAD?

I found ZWCAD’s learning curve to be quite steep, especially if you're used to other CAD software like AutoCAD. Some of the tools and features aren’t as intuitive as I’d hoped, so I spent more time than I would have liked trying to figure out how everything works. It's definitely not a software that you can pick up and get productive with right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We appreciate your review of ZWCAD. It's great to hear that the software has addressed the issue of crashing and improved the speed of your design work. We understand the learning curve can be steep and will continue to work on making the software more intuitive for users.

"Best Value CAD Package."
5/5
What do you like best about ZWCAD?

It's great to have the ability to import point cloud. In my industry, a lot of data is captured using laser scanning to reduce time on site/offshore. The ability to use this to create CAD models is ideal. I also love the fact you can create your own personalisations/shortcuts to increase efficiency. As far as I am aware, ZW CAD has all the functionality of leading brands. I have also been able to run all my customisation files and lisp routines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZWCAD?

I have yet to find any significant drawbacks in what I use the software for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ZWCAD?

There is no relearning needed, it has very interesting and useful apis that help with everyday work. I love that it is small enough not to crash in my work laptop and I don´t have to wait forever for it to load. It was so easy to implement in our office, since there is no need to relearn anything, just ease into it. Customer support is amazing, the America team has been speedy and on point with our interactions, and has solved each problem swiftly. I use it practically everyday and it has been a godsend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ZWCAD?

I really can´t think of any other than a slight problem with commands that was solved really fast by customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Exploring ZWCAD: A Powerful CAD program.

I recently had the opportunity to explore ZWCAD, and I must say, One of the standout features is its ability to generate tables for areas effortlessly, without the need for LISPs or additional tools. Additionally, ZWCAD supports a wide range of familiar commands, making it easy for AutoCAD users to transition smoothly. Commands like OFFSET, TRIM, ARRAY, DIMSTYLE, and many others work seamlessly, ensuring productivity without a steep learning curve;moreover,It offers the flexibility of a lifetime license, eliminating the hassle of annual renewals which is a significant advantage for professionals and businesses seeking cost-effective, long-term solutions.
