Migration from AutoCAD... learning curve

Do you have a question you want to ask an existing QCAD user about QCAD and what you can do with it? Do you want to know if a particular feature exists? This is the place to ask.

Migration from AutoCAD... learning curve

Post by ffrreeddeerriikk » Tue Jul 31, 2012 5:56 pm

I am currently doing a research study on the migration to linux for an engineering firm.

I would like to know:
How long it takes for a user familiar with AutoCAD to become fully effective with QCAD?

Any of you that made the switch could tell me what was the learning curve, let me know.

If you are familiar with 'any' CAD program you will have a grasp on CAD principles already, so getting to grips with QCAD will not take too long!

The best feedback will be from the users themselves in the Engineering firm - why not get them to download the QCAD 3 trial and try it out, I`m sure they will be impressed :wink:
