If you’re not sure what to do about the impending DOOM! of losing your perpetual software licenses, perhaps it’s time to consider Carlson Software!
You can follow this link to view my recent Overview Of Carlson Software: All Substance, No Styles webinar.
I posted most of this a long time ago but here are my top TOP advantages of using Carlson Software:
Gives Users Platform Choice
Carlson Software runs on both AutoCAD and IntelliCAD allowing their users a choice of CAD platform. The 2016 version of the software can be run on top of a separately purchased license of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Map or Civil 3d for versions as far back as those built on AutoCAD 2010 (and, in some cases Land Desktop 2009).
The IntelliCAD that is included for Free is a virtual clone of AutoCAD that works natively in DWG format files (no need for import, export or conversion).
Free Technical Support
Carlson Software provides free technical support by phone as well as email, discussion groups and webcasts. This is also Carlson’s way of ensuring that customers have direct input into future updates.
Dynamic Objects are Basic Autocad Entities (Translation: no proxy entities!)
Carlson’s product line creates dynamic objects with basic Autocad text, attributes, lines and polylines. This allows easy sharing between project team members regardless of the version of DWG, DXF or DGN file being transferred.
No Forced Upgrades
Carlson supports all products for all versions and has no product retirement
Carlson Plays Well With Others
Carlson Software’s goal is to have their software be compatible with as many other software and hardware manufacturers as possible. There is a seemingly endless list of “Import from…” and “Export to…” commands in the software.
Price!
Yes, it’s important but I put it at the bottom of this list. The pricing for Carlson Software programs having features comparable to AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT or Civil 3d are very reasonable both for the initial purchase and, optionally, maintenance to keep the latest and greatest version of the software.
