I didn't want to bother jumping through the hoops to add a comment but I like this program so much, I felt compelled to.
I learned AutoCAD ten years ago so I could teach it to my mostly computer illiterate Dad that was still doing his engineering drawings with pencil and paper. Back then it was on about 15 floppies so I never bothered to load it as I got newer and newer computers. Recently I downloaded ProgeCAD to design a deck project for my house. After a few minutes with the help file, my AutoCAD knowledge came back and I had no problem with my layout. Using their product has been such a pleasant experience that I plan on making a donation.
I love ProgeCAD. I found it by accident, which is great as I was getting tired of updating AutoCAD too often. So I ditched it and I am now a big fan of ProgeCAD.
I like this program for what I need it for. Much smaller foot print compare to some of the other CAD apps. Furthermore, it is not a memory hog.
It has all the features I need and there is no "bloatware".
