Cadlogic has good news to offer those in search of cheap CAD software: customers can now download Draft It Plus, an enhanced version of the completely free software, for only £20 for a lifetime upgrade. The Plus version comes with extended tools, input features and modification functions, as well as further options for drawing and printing.Existing Draft It users can upgrade quickly and easily using the site, while those who are new to the software can purchase it online at an incredibly low cost.
So, what’s so great about Draft It Plus? We ask Dave Smith, Cadlogic’s Technical Support Manager, about its unique features:
“Draft It Free is a fantastic beginner’s tool, but the Plus software offers a number of more sophisticated features, including pens with multiple thickness settings; explode and stretch tools; extended copy and paste options and the ability to create your own templates from scratch. There are also a number of additional input options, allowing you to use arrow keys to specify distance and direction - this makes Draft It even easier to use than ever before,” explains Smith.
The software contains all the features of Draft It Free, as well as many more. With Draft It Plus, users can select all of a type, mono print, and make use of a number of additional drawing aids and modification tools to enhance their 2D designs.
“There are also a number of features on our website to help new users get accustomed to the programme,” adds Smith. “We provide video support, micro lessons and FAQs that should tell you everything you need to know. Alternatively, you can contact us with your questions, which we are always happy to answer.”
Cadlogic also promotes further versions of the Draft It software, Draft It Pro and Draft It Architectural. The later is intended for professional use, but can also be enjoyed by keen hobbyists who want to benefit from improved wall drawing, hundreds of architectural symbols, 3D model viewing and wall joining tools.
By downloading Cadlogic Architectural for £199, users can also create a 3D DXF models from their drawing and then export it to another system.
