I just got Practicad and am in the process of setting it up. I was wondering if there is anyone else in the forum running it. So we could trade tips and stuff. It will be a bit of a curve for me as I am no autocad guy but I am looking forward to using the program. It seems to have so many options that it can create what you want with "automatics".
Gator,
I have tried this program and we acctually had a demo in our office with Matt. I like this program for the most part. And I think it was created by the same Russian guy that originally designed the Eastcoast program before it was distributed by Quickpen back in the day and yadda, yadda, yadda. I really like it because it is a true Autocad 3rd party software program. And I love the idea that you can create all of the lisp programs to make things "automatic". I would like to see what more people think about the program.

Gator, same question. How is the Practi-cad working?
I have both PractiCAD & PractiCAM. They are very customizable & so far hav ebeen impressed over the PM2000 & CADDuct version I've used in the past. There are few things that are a bit different with these programs though.
We have been using it for a few years, one of the best programs out there in my opinion. There is nothing better than being able to draw in 3-d exactly the way you are going to make a fitting. Once your shop standards are set it is fool proof.
We have been using PM2000 on our mechines...works great haven,t used anything else for the last 12 years...so I guess I don't know what i'm missing....but I have had excellent assistance when need, and for what we do here its great....
Just to let you all know we've now been running PractiCAD and PractiCAM full time. It seems to be working out great. We actually had a guy come out of the shop and within the 1st week he was drawing on his own with not prior experience. It has it's quirks sometimes but for the most part I like it.
PractiCad...any one running it besides me
