It's still AutoCAD. You still have all the AutoCAD tools available, it still functions like AutoCAD. It has lots of specialized tools for drawing ductwork, electrical conduit and circuiting.

I love that it stores all the raw materials added by any other user for everyone else to use as well. Also, really like that you can customize any raw material in the system and use it in formula and others can also reference your formulas in the future.

It keeps crashing every now and then. There are too many codes I have to learn.
