Good for a start on detailing..., June 5, 2000
Reviewer: peter d briggs (North America)
After having wandered through it a bit, this software seems to provide a good starting point for detailing. The interface is quite easy to use, and provides enough choices to make the results fairly accurate. The details that are provided form a good skeleton for devising more appropriate ones (if necessary). The only problem is that the details are completely exploded, so changing them can be tedious (i.e. altering dimensions or hatches), and depending on your office standards, there's a lot of layer work that may be done to get pen assignments and all of that done. So, at first glance it looks like a good tool for a starting point, and to provide 'place holders' for the information that's needed on the details... plus... easy to use and the graphical interface is nice.
