Bricscad Czy Gstarcad
Bought FastCad 6 months later. Owned 3 manufacturing businesses and last bought AutoCad 2009. Used Solid Works vs 18-20 for coal fired powerplant components. Designed airfoil propellers in Rhino. Rhino is my favorite. FastCad is still one of the best. It was the Work of Michael Riddle (known as the father of cad). I use Rhino now for everything can. ProgeCAD 2021 - AutoCAD Alternative progeCAD is an AutoCAD ® replacement 2D/3D CAD application that works with AutoCAD ® DWG files from v. The best solution for AEC, MCAD and all generic CAD usages. GstarCAD 2021 GstarCAD is well-known alternative CAD software of high compatibility with ACAD.
