Review by Ward Lamb
I was cautious about this program,as I am not accustomed to this type of designing.nI was elated to see that I could redesign rooms of my house,landscape layouts,nPerhaps this light weight version will dissapoint those with greater aims of control-but for me,I am spending hours enjoying the ease and creativity of this program. If you have any drafting/drawing background you will enjoy this program even more.nBuilt on the AutoCAD platform, AutoCAD Freestyle is an approchable, low-cost program that makes it simple to create precise, professional-looking drawings and sketches. The software makes design simple and intuitive. There is a a toolset for creating standard geometric shapes (lines, arcs, circles, rectangles), annotating drawings (text fills), free sketching, and inserting images ,as well as symbols. The grid on the drawing surface gives reference to spatial dimensions, such as proportion,perspective and distance, so the artist /designer can evolve drawings to accurate solutions.
