progeCAD is a computer aided 2D & 3D design program. It's based on the IntelliCAD engine which just happens to be one of AutoCAD's most powerful challengers. Because AutoCAD is the most widely used professional CAD software on the market today, anything that competes in AutoCAD's sandbox has to be able to not only vie for attention in a difficult and entrenched environment, but also provide some incentives to move off the industry standard. ProgeSOFT is a serious company with a serious CAD product and offers extensive technical product support, so we decided to give progeCAD a heavy duty test. We reviewed progeCAD over a two month period in a busy architectural and industrial design studio. The results may surprise you.

ABB started with progeCAD in the year 2000. ABB has distributed around 15,000 licenses of progeCAD to run our specific application for the Electrical environment; we are also using hundreds of licenses as a CAD base. Our choice for progeCAD was mainly based on the importance of the DWG format and our users past experiences on AutoCAD.
The most important benefits are related to the easy and profitable drawing
sharing, thanks to the standard DWG format support.

AutoCAD vs IntelliCAD
I was very glad to have a copy of ProgeCAD LT 2006 around when a user sent me a badly managled drawing. AutoCAD's Recovery or Audit couldn't fix it, but ProgeCAD's recovery worked just fine and I was able to return a working drawing to a very relieved designer.
So while I haven't used it very much, ProgeCAD has definitely earned a spot in my toolbox of CAD apps. |
