What opinions do folks here have regarding 3rd PlanIt and/or CadRail? I'm considering one of the 2 (or maybe a 3rd if someone recommends it) and would like to know pro's and con's BEFORE I buy. Thanks! John
I use 3rd Planit. I found the program easy to learn and intuitive. It has easy short-cut keys as well. Others have found it very hard to learn, so I would download the demo and play around with it to see how you like it before buying it.
I also tried XtrkCad, based on favourable reviews here. I found it hard to get used to, but that is mainly from using 3rd Planit it think. It is free, so again, download it and give it a try. Both programs are very powerful and will let you design just about anything. See which you find easier to use and go from there.
