Both the tech support and software have never failed me so IronCAD is stuck with me as customer. As far as I'm concerned, IronCAD is the only CAD software that will be installed on my computers.

I'm still a one-man shop and am too busy to even consider what else is out there. I could always rely on to patiently walk me through things I just couldn't figure out on my own.

As a self taught machinist and inventor, putting thoughts to paper was easy but my experience with CAD got me stumped a few times. The other great thing about IronCAD is the tech support. I was also working on a product that was patent pending so trusting them with my designs was not an option. I looked at them out of curiosity and did not think they compared to versatility of solid modeling and none of them had the Tri-Ball.

Below are the following limitations: It will time out after 12 months, so you would need to re-apply for a new license if.

The Free Student License is a fully functioning, node locked IRONCAD license. In the 7-yrs of use, I saw online CNC bloggers advertise other CAD software, some of which are free, and the most popular one being we based. In addition, enjoy access to free tutorials, webinars, and stay informed with the latest news from IronCAD. Innovate has allowed me to do everything I could imagine for rendering designs to do CNC work as well as making a newly patented product. So technically, my first experience with creating a CAD model was with IronCAD. Prior to this, I was given a copy of Solid Works to try and was completely lost as to where to start. Overall: I purchased IronCAD Innovate as a package with my Tormach PCNC1100 CNC Mill 7-yrs ago. Example: "LOAD Button: Click this button to load. Most entries simply describe the labels that are already readily-visible on a given dialogue box. It actually complicates CAD library management. The single-project-file structure isn't particularly valuable (S/W has the Pack-and-Go feature). It was a bit galling to see the heavily-discounted price offers right after I paid a higher price, and I now see that you tricked your new users into buying a soon-to-be-obsolete version.īeing barred from having an account in the forum simply because I chose to purchase a perpetual license and no maintenance plan was quite a slap in the face. Having the file format change right after I purchased the software and NOT BE BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE was almost a death blow to my continuation as an IronCAD user since it prevents me from adding seats without complications or extra expense of upgrading. Not being able to export to sldasm or sldprt with the translator was an unexpected and stunning deficiency considering the price I paid for the Translator. The parametric architecture is fractured and disjointed.ĭimensioning in the 2D drawing module is too erratic to be usable.ĭimensions in the 3D module hide by default and it's hit-or-miss as to which object to activate to show a placed dimension. I started a bug list but then stopped because there were so many. Any input is appreciated.Cons: It was quite expensive, considering the lack of maturity in the product. NX enables companies to balance structured, repeatable best practices with the flexibility they need to move innovation forward.

A trial does not really mean much because if I spend 30 days learning a program and then have to spend several hundred dollars it is a waste of time to even learn the program. IronCAD Announces Latest Release, Designed with a Focus on Productivity by Making Innovative 3D Designs Move to Production Faster (ATLANTA, Ga.

So far it has mostly been a frustrating experience. I guess that mostly I am interested in determining which 3D program to concentrate on to actually learn. Needless to say I am not prepared to spend a small fortune on this. The ideal would be to import a 2D DXF drawing and get the various parts to move in the proper relationship. Sketchup, 123 Design and Fusion 360 but have never gotten to a point where I was comfortable with them.Īt this point I would like to be able to do some basic animation to check operation and clearances. I have looked at and played around with a couple of 3D programs. I usually redraw any engine project in CAD before I start so that I understand it and find errors. I use Visual Cadd and started back when it was Generic Cadd. I have been using a 2D CAD program for 20+ years. I am looking for recommendations for CAD and animation.
