ZWCad 2008i
-
Hello all,
Not sure if this is the right place, but:
I came across a nice substitute for Autodesks Autocad.
It's called ZW Cad 2008i and is made in China.You can download (http://www.zwcad.org/index.html)a trial version here for 30 days, after that some items become limited.
It claims to be compatible at least with Autocad 2007 (after 30 days of evaluating).
The price is also a lot cheaper than Autocad.It looks about 95% the same as Autocad. So for those that are used to work with Autocad, there is no problem at all. Actually you would think it is Autocad, but with another skin.....
And no, I'm not receiving any commission........

In Holland (and so probably also in France) ZWCad2008i Pro would cost around € 525,- (excl. VAT)
I've discovered that in the evaluation version (after 30 days) you can't save files bigger than 800kB.
Merry Christmas,

Will the program open and work with existing Autocad drawings?

Yep,
As far as I've tried there is no problem at all using Autocad drawings. Even Autocad drawings with extensions such as Delta Pi are functioning normally!

Hi,
ZWCAD 2009 is now released and it's fully compatible with acad (full, not just LT), up to dwg 2009. It comes in 2 flavours Std @ £390 and Pro £480 (UK prices). Pro has 2d & 3d design support, Std just has 2d design, but can view 3d files. If you know acad you can use zwcad, no retraining required. Get a free download from http://www.zwcad.org.uk.
