May 13, 2016

4.0

Pros

This software is an affordable plan take-off software. I use it to take off mechanical drawings. The software is not exactly what I need because I have to build conditions on each plan. Other than that it is a great program.

Cons

No built in data bases. Only outside homemade for fee tag on programs.
