ArcSite vs IronCAD: Which is a better fit?

It's a good product, very simple for take measures on worksite, perfect for begin layout... or transfer to Cad application... there is a lot advantage directly inside it.

The issue that bothered me the most is its mandatory bidding features. We have no need for them.

The customer support team is fantastic, and was eager to know about my experience with the tool and what they could do to improve.

Lack of features for more complicated drawings.

We have been using ArcSite for years now, and I have the utmost respect for the company, they truly want to help the customer/user be successful.

No desktop version, limited export options, inconsistent and limited dimensioning, and not easy to get area measurements. Higher levels are a bit expensive.

ArcSite has given us the ability to create beautiful, quality, custom bids for the work we do on our customers home that is unparalleled.

There are times when very detailed drawings can be a pain. Sometimes it is difficult to draw or drag and place lines that are close together.

The complementary IronCAD Compose is fabulous. The student licensing program was fantastic before it was turned into a subscription-based model.

On crash a number of times my settings and preset quick keys have disappeared on me.

Ironcad provides all the functionality of software that costs 2 and 3 times more yet is as solid and reliable. It's as powerful and robust just fair on how it's priced.

While importing 3D model in IGES format, many of the features gets destroyed while transferring our doesn't get transferred at all.

The flexibility within the history tree is awesome. The catalogs are a nice touch.

But beyond the limits of the interactive classes, all other features are hard to learn, find or understand.

There was rapid learning from the onset of this app and great intuition allowed great results in a short while.

Inability to transfer model history to other CAD formats.
