    Best of Canvas X Draw : I recommend Canvas X Draw to students who are pursuing engineering. They provide great customer service. They do offer a non-subscription service which is great for students. The all-in-one graphic design and illustration technically for multi framework Where Canvas X Draw can do better: They have fewer fill options. The offset path function option is not there.

    TurboCAD is well suited to a smaller budget, it is by no means the best there is but for the money, it fills the gap. Being an AutoCAD & DraftSight user I find the user interface a little old and the lack of common drafting industry shortcut keys a bit of a hindrance. However this product, TurboCAD gets the job done, other packages like DraftSight do not even come with an active 3D option on the cheaper end, standard license whereas TurboCAD does, even though it's a little clumsy to use.

    • Produces accurate drawings to scale, and with several ways to show the "views" to people in need of them at our factory.
    • Relatively easy to use, once you understand the toolset. You can draw anything with it.
    • Sending files to CNC machine shops to produce parts is easy with this program.
    • Sending to mold making companies works out well. Just ask them what file format they want and TurboCAD can give it to them.

    TurboCAD does all of the things we need it to do and some. The wide variety of options to create specificity in each of our projects is a large plus. The reason it was given a 9 is because the learning curve can be a little steep and sometimes certain processes are not as intuitive as they could be

    Canvas x Draw is more cost-effective compared to Adobe Illustrator. Customer service of Canvas X Draw is best. It provides a non-subscription version which is not there in other tools. Canvas X Draw is easier to use and understand than Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. The layering feature is the best for Canvas X Draw

    3DS Max is the one I use the most, the other two are good choices also. They have more online tutorials for helping learn them.
