DesignCAD 3D MAX V20

If you’re looking for CAD software that’s beginner friendly but still feature rich, look no further than DesignCAD 3D Max. Providing robust 2D and 3D functionality, easy usability and exhaustive support options, this design application is the best CAD software for consumers on the market and our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award winner.

DesignCAD 3D Max provides the same intuitive ease of use and versatile drafting and design tools as it has in previous versions, but the newest installment ramps up its offerings with new 3D model content that fosters easy and quick architectural design, even for inexperienced users. More than 600 new components can easily be dragged and dropped directly into your architectural designs, including kitchen items, furniture and structural models such as doors, windows, etc.

DesignCAD 3D Max provides an array of convenient, useful features that improve the application’s overall usability and make the design process smooth and uncomplicated for users. In fact, the software has more of the features we sought than any other product in our lineup of CAD software. There are several handy shortcut keys that enable you to easily execute frequently used drawing functions with a single keystroke. Additionally, drag-and-drop functionality allows you to simply drop various model components directly into your designs.

The application also provides command histories and macros. The command history tracks every action and change so you can conveniently reference past commands executed on a particular project. Within CAD software, a macro is a tracked set of actions that are saved so they can later be performed as a single action. Macros are highly useful because they allow you to turn a string of boring, repetitious and sometimes time-consuming actions into a single, time-saving command. We also liked how the software supports user notes. You can add your own notes to a drawing or design, which is useful if a project or drawing is a collaboration between two or more users.
