Inexpensive and easy to use CAD software
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it to manage and clean up, edit, and create cad files on a daily basis. We make layouts and print on large format paper as well. It's very easy to make 2d floor plans with it. It lets you delete layers in layer manager, which others do not. It's easy to teach new users on it and set up their templates. When installing updates, it lets you merge your existing personal user settings into the new update with no extra actions needed.

Cons
- It lacks some functions that AutoCAD has, but for the price, it could be worth it on your end.
