"Birth of the Star"
Comments: It offers everything that is much more expensive competition. Working with drawings is efficient thanks to additional applications or proprietary commands. In order to convince the crew to work for themselves in this program.
Pros: It is an excellent price-quality ratio. The most modern solutions, quick support, quick updates. this is something to pay attention to. It's something that you need every day at work and in business.
Cons: Typo translation, it bothers me. Such a good product should take care of details. This applies to all interface languages except English.

"The best Cad for the money"
Pros: I like just about everything about it. It is the closest that come to AutoCad that I have ever seen for a whale of a lot less money.
Cons: Well, like the other cad it is very comprehensive and complex. It has a huge array of features, many that I will never use frankly. But it is nice to know that the features are there in case I will need them in the future.

"Not worth buying for me."
Comments: Disappointing experience. Would probably try another CAD alternative.
Pros: Similar interface and GUI to AutoCAD. Many features (but not all) similar to AutoCAD.
Cons:
WORKSPACE - DRAFTING AND ANNOTATION
- Block library would not work in most of the cases and would disappear from your drawing and you would not be able to use blocks which they are offering.
- Editing "Attributes" in ActCAD is a forever task. Also, "MTEXT" in attributes does not work most of the times.
- "Field" tab in ActCAD has very less features available as compared to other commercial software. Especially "ctab" feature is not available which is a very basic feature.
- You do not get a different dimension layer in the "Annotation" tab where you can set a different layer to only dimension text and lines.
- Cannot not run "Visual Basic" applications.
- Very Slow. With the recommended system requirements as they have on their website, ActCAD is not able to handle even small scale projects.
- CUSTOMER SUPPORT: They advertise that they have lifetime customer support. They will reply you promptly but the issues still remain UNSOLVED. I contacted customer support regarding "Block Library" issue somewhere in October 2020 but till date the issue is NOT RESOLVED.

"Best Competitive 2D CAD Software"
Comments: I have been using this software for few months for now & having very good experience overall. Mainly I have work in customized block library which I got here & that too without any extra expenses. Also it is a light weight software so can be used on my simple Desktop PC also.
Pros:
- Plug & play if you have already used other 2D CAD softwares.
- Vast Library for blocks.
- Ease of use & user friendly
- Can easily switch the license to other workstations without technical support.
Cons:
- Sometimes tend to slow down.
- Initially New commands were hard to find because there are many of them.

"ActCAD Compatibility"
Comments: I commented above about slowness in opening large 3D projects, crashes, problems with paperspace viewports and conceptual rendering of views.
Pros: It is set up very much like AutoCAD which has been my primary software.
Cons: I found that it is very slow in opening previous large AutoCAD 3D projects and recently it crashed in doing so. Also I had difficulty viewing drawings with conceptual views in paperspace viewports. It seemed awkward and not the same as I was used to.
