    With full features, lifetime global validity and availability at very affordable price makes it the good alternative to Autodesk AutoCAD. Its self License Transfer feature also allows me to shift my license from one PC to another on the go. Highly Recommended.

    The best part of ActCAD is being able to do practically anything without an interface. You're able to run all the commands just by typing them. It's customizable, lightweight, easy to get started.
