I think AutoCAD is WAY TOO expensive for what I get .
However, Scott is the best. He reminds me about subscriptions dates, guides me in the correct direction for updates. He always responds promptly to me.
He is literally the reason I continue to work with Novedge and will do so in the future.
AutoCAD 2024 - Subscription
There was some difficulty getting the license activation moved over, but support was informative and diligent to get me successfully moved over. I am very happy.
It's like having your very own license manager that keeps track of your current subscription renewal dates, offers advice on upgrades or money-saving options, etc. Our experience has always been great.
Entire process was smooth
Vectorworks is a largely bloated inefficient drafting suite that many of us are forced to use because we have allowed it to become standard in the entertainment industry. Now, with a subscription model that nets Nemetschek millions of dollars a year, they have an almost nonexistent incentive to improve the software. I don’t get excited about what this software can do, I will do that when the company shows some interest in improving the software overall.
