[Adonis]

Hi guys, I am a professional civil engineer and i am using autocad currently for making my projects of constructions. I found some problems when i tried to make a plan for high facility provided building. So i have searched for the another software which can work as same as the autocad does. I think Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional can work for me but i do not know how to use Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional, can anybody give me some ideas about what can i do by using Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional.

Best feature in Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional is its user-optimized interface which is absolutely easy to understand for the first time user. It is also accurate about its result because for this kind of software it is but obvious to be perfect about their results as their small changes in the results can bring large changes in the real life projects. New feature provided by this software is Window Construction Module. It can also converts your 3D projects into CINEMA 4D by using the desired plug ins.

Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional is the cheapest product provided for the civil engineers as other cad products comes in several thousand euro for a single user but its not the case with Ashampoo 3D CAD Professional. Main specialty about this software is total continuity right through to the production of construction plans. Even it is possible to make changes in the final construction plans.
