MacHow2, an online magazine specializing in Mac applications, recently made a careful assessment of CAD software for Mac. The upshot of it was that iCADMac, our 2D/3D DWG/DXF CAD package for Mac, came on the list of the best CAD software for Mac. At ProgeSOFT we couldn’t but share this news with you and we are grateful to MacHow2 for finding and adding our software to their top selection list.

In the overview of CAD software for MAC, first of all, MacHow2 classifies CAD programs in terms of user experience taking into account whether the user is a professional, a student or an amateur. Then follows a long list of criteria which may help you to select the right CAD software program. According to these criteria, you should define whether you need a generic or industry specific product, a 2D or 3D CAD system, a free or paid CAD for MAC and so on. You should also bear in mind that you may need technical assistance one day, so make sure beforehand if the developer offers these services and, last but not least, check up on the range of software features and file formats supported by a CAD package which you consider crucial for your design tasks completion. The CAD software industry is increasingly accommodating architects and designers who work on a Mac or have just moved to Mac. Although there are still more CAD programs for Windows than for Mac, you don’t need to use virtual machines on your Mac any longer, as now you can easily select a CAD for Mac fitting your specific needs. The MacHow2 overview could be quite handy for this purpose and the right place to start with.

iCADMac’s presentation on MacHow2 begins with: “iCADMac markets itself as a cheaper alternative to AutoCAD® for Mac and is user-friendly 2D and 3D CAD software for Macs which writes and reads Autodesk DWG files”, while the full text of the overview is available here.

iCADMac is a 2D/3D CAD application for MAC OS X using the DWG and DXF native formats, representing powerful, reliable, complete, easy-to-use and economic software.

Adrián Chiriano, the rally racer sponsored by progeCAD Argentina, has recently finished Argentina’s National Tourism Rally Championship Class 3, the most watched and debated sporting event.

Adrián Chiriano won the third place in the Viedma round and that allowed him to finish third overall in the final classification. It was already the first qualifying day held on Saturday that turned out to be positive for Chiriano who proved himself to be in good shape. He paved the way for success gaining good position in the starting grid, the second place and the third heat for the race of the following day. During the race Chiriano gave a hard time to his rivals, in the end giving way to Angelini who won the first title and Bosio who managed to finish in second. Chiriano had been struggling hard in an attempt to pass Bosio’s car to the bitter end. Adrián Chiriano took the third prize finding himself again on the third step of the podium with a Championship trophy in hand at the end of the race in the Viedma autodrome circuit the way it had already happened in the 2014 season. Argentina’s National Tourism Rally Championship Class 3 has come to an end with its completed 12 rounds which started last February and triggered animated debates involving the whole Argentine nation.

“That’s the result of great work of the whole team […] I’m happy to end the year in this way”, Adrián Chiriano commented right after the competition.  

ProgeSOFT shares the ideas of the Chiriano team consisting in the constant commitment, determination and competence – the values which were also essential in the production of progeCAD, 2D/3D DWG/DXF CAD, a powerful and affordable software application for technical drawing able to replace expensive CAD products.
