These guys are so helpful and nothing is a issue to them, the best software I have used for years, ----- ### "Great update, more modern features" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *2 July 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using MacDraft for at least 20 years. Over that time, it has become a mature, useful tool for me. Although I have used Autocad before, I find MacDraft so much easier to use and 'Mac-like'. Not all the tools are intuitive, but easy enough to figure out with online help. With the new update to V7, the interface has been cleaned up significantly, and everything is easier to use. I now can do my work in less time, and achieve better looking results. I really appreciate that Microspot continues to update this great piece of software. > > **Cons**: Some of the tools look different than the last version, so there is a bit of a re-learning curve. That's not to say that once learned, the improvements are evident. > > I routinely import a scan of my designer's hand drawn floorplans and work with them in MacDraft. I can overlay the computer drawn plan and work with it very well. ----- ### "It is a great tool you can use to save time and money, easy to use but it need a little improvements" — 4.0/5 > **Delmy Zunilda** | *9 May 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use, it is simple and you dont need full blown CAD program. An economic option for architectural drawings > > **Cons**: When you insert a lot of items from the library it gets very slow. Cant open if you dont have enough memory available > > Great architectural drawings ----- ### "Thank goodness for MacDraft Professional 7" — 5.0/5 > **Walter** | *8 January 2021* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This program has all the easy use features of the original MacDraft of which I was a Beta Test professional in the mid-1980's. > > **Cons**: I did not like the fact that I purchased MacDraft and within a year had to purchase it again due a change in the Mac operating system. > > I am a woodworker, and I make engineering drawings of my projects prior to building them. ----- ### "Home plan drawing" — 3.0/5 > **Jerry** | *2 July 2019* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: The update makes the program commutable with the new Mac operating system and makes it possible to use older files. The tools are easy to identify and use. > > **Cons**: Very disappointed with the templates. I ordered the entire package with all templates. I expected the templates of architectural features that are used in the drawing of house plans that include plumbing fixtures such as sinks of different sizes, toilets, bath tubs, showers, and appliances. Electrical symbols that depict light fixtures, electrical out lets, bath fans, ceiling fans. Furniture images to depict bed sizes, sofa's, tables, chairs, TV's. Doors that shows the door swing. I would like to down load PDF drawings and then make changes. If that is possible I would like to know how to do this. I would really like to down load a photo of a house and then be able to draw over it to demonstrate alternatives to owners. I guess that I was hoping for more. > > I have been a Mac Draft owner since its origin. Other soft ware has advanced much faster than. I regret that I haven't learned to use the CAD programs. It would be really nice to draw a floor plan and then be able to rotate it into a 3D drawing. I expected much more from this upgrade. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156430/macdraft-professional-6-2?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156430/macdraft-professional-6-2) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
