J'utilise Highdesign depuis 10 ans. Le changement d'ordinateur m'a contraint à cette mise à jour. Du logiciel sympa précédent vous en avez fait une usine a gaz pour copier les grands. Modification sans intér^t. "Avez-vous adopté ce produit après en avoir testé un autre ?" Non mais je vais le faire ...

Pros

Sans objet .

Cons

La complexité de cette Version R8 et surtout la vacuité de la documentation trouvé sur internet. L'absence d'humain pour débloquer une situation

I am with you since version 5. Bugs and general stability have always been the issue.But I must say it is getting better each version and it has been a pleasure to see it grow bigger and better.And customer support is very helpful and human.Congratulations on the new 7 version.

Pros

Very simple and straight forward 2d cad platform for mac.Great GUI.If your are cad user specially coming from archicad or vectorworks you can start with no learning curve.Just turn it on and you are ready to go.

Cons

Bugs and general stability. There are still parts of the drawings that disappear out of the blue sometimes.Probably a better autosave would also help.Hatches could be more stable and configurable and input and subtract zones with ease.Faster and more stable dwg import.Dwf support - it is the public format for submission in Portugal.

Pros

Complete and highly functional, with these words I would define this practical App called HighDesign, developed for an endless number of derivative proposals for design, be it dedicated to engineering, as well as landscaping, among other practical uses for other branches. Among its many areas, HighDesign gives the beneficiary the possibility to opt for easy and intuitive processes ranging from vectorization processes, to systematic graphics, thus taking care of cumbersome details such as limits in planes, angles, lines, shapes and points, all for a best procedure when designing. HighDesign is that App dedicated to a versatile audience, created for the creation of projects in various branches of graphic design to achieve optimal functionality for anyone who chooses an effective bar of work, either for experienced designers as beginners with the desire to strengthen and Take advantage of your graphic skills, whatever your level.

Cons

I have no complaints about the site, everything has seemed excellent to me so far, I will continue to use the service for a long time.
