it only opens PART of a dwg file! what good is a PART of the file? also, while i am panning this lousy product, it changed the scale of the part it did open, and it isn’t smart enough to change the paper orientation from portrait to landscape even after you tell it to do so – NOOO, you have to tell it to change the orientation, and then you have to tell the printer also. to say nothing of the usual bizarre autoCAD-like icons and crap. if Amazon would let me give 0 stars, or negative stars, that’s what you would be seeing, because autoSketch isn’t worth ****.

Autodesk has always been the leader in CAD software and continues with this latest version of AutoSketch. I have used AutoCAD and AutoSketch for about 18 years now. It was dissapointing though that they did not have an upgrade offer from previou AutoSketch versions and forced users to buy a whole new version.

This product is the best two dimensional drawing products that I have ever used, and I have used a lot of this type of product.
One of it’s best features is that it has a moderate learning curve, and thus one can be productive in using the program almost immediately!

I got it for home use. This one is a work horse. It’s stable. And I keep discovering new ways to make the drawing process easier. Don’t waste time downloading trials of the less expensive 2-D drawing programs. They are not as intuitive and in my experience, tend to lock up the computer just about when you think you got a useful drawing.

I used Autocad LT for several years and then moved to Turbocad when the ongoing upgrades became too expensive for the amount of use that I had (upgrades were necessary to update operating systems). There were things about the Autocad interface that I have missed, however, so decided to try AutoSketch, hoping for a reasonably complete 2D application. It falls well short of the interface and capabilities of LT. I have reverted to the (less than perfect) TurboCad.
