    Ok to Learn and Work for beginners ! The 3D part is a bit slow and sluggish however apart form that I am pretty satisfied with the software. The 2D drawings are easily understandable and working on it is seamless. It supports wide range of file formats which makes imports & exports easy and flexible.
