use zwcad

[ghirosoft]

Bye to all,
I don't know sincerely about which forum to place this question.. .
someone use/know zwcad?
we are considering to buy some licenses.

 

[emi_973]

I do not use zwcad but from some reviews read here and for the network say that it is equal in everything and for everything to autocad lt, as there are now many... more nin zo!:biggrin:

 

[ghirosoft]

And I forgot to say that we got him.
we have taken 10 server licenses and it is actually equal to autocad (also it is Chinese:smile, it is a little slower.
to us great potential do not serve, for example the 3d, has some small imperfection, but we are talking neache 500 euros against the 4-5000 of autocad.
accepts lisp, vlisp and vba. of the programming lisp does not have the editor as autocad, while x vba si. I with autocad had to recover on 150 functions in lisp and similar and 4-5 in vba. I did some little adjustment and everything works. with vba changes the main object of autocad type thisdrawing becomes thisdocument, changes something like attributes, but most for example if in autocad the object was acad... in zwcad is precisely zwcad.
ah, it also works as well as on the net in vpn.

..........and effectively is equal to autocad......... . accepts lisp, vlisp e vba....

I've always wondered how far the "lisp-compatibility" declared by non-autodesk software came, so that you had to replace the autocad commands launched by the lisp with those of zwcad? and how do you behave with various entmods, entmakes, etc.?

 

[ghirosoft]

So... .
with 90% lisp work mainly with layer management, attributes and then blocks, multifoil prints, automatic numbering of texts and even text tracking and nothing changes.
90% of the few modifications I made (always with lisp/vlisp etc) is for the command in itself that even if in Italian zwcad has the commands in English, e.g. "purge" is not "elimina" but "purge", "sposta" is "move" and not "move".
as entamake, entmod, entget, lists, getstring, ssget, sslength etc remains all the same.
with vba change some references of objects, but there is still the help with examples.
you can work with external files, excel, database, txt etc. instead of intellicad that as vba is limited.
we had tried also bricscad and he also has no problems with lisp and vba, indeed if I remember well I had to do nothing to reuse my functions, neither for lisp nor for vba.
we chose zwcad, given compatibility, for server licenses that bricscad does not have.
Last thing that comes to mind is for the menu; with bricscad you can recover the menu ".cui" while with zwcad still works with mnu and mns and I had to remake all the menu both a tendon and icons.
and zwcad regarding the menu and icons has some problems where you have to be careful, but you can do it.
That's enough for the moment.
If you have any other specific question here.... not for the 3d though.

he also has the 3d anyway, maybe it is not complete as autocad, but there is.

a question:
Does zwcad support annotative quotas?

Thank you.

 

[ghirosoft]

try to tell me what is the command in English that by + I know little English:smile:

 

[Onda]

It is not a command but a quotation system.
the annotative entities (quotes, texts, retinals and anything else) are automatically scaled within the display window in the paper space.
For example if I have a model in the drawing space and then I want to quote it in the paper space, I create a window of a certain scale e.g. 1:5 and then I start to quote. all quotas, retinal texts etc., which I have previously defined as annotatives appear to me of the correct size in paper space.
if I then make another window, e.g. 1:2 on a particular of the previous model, the previously made odds do not appear in the new window when scale does not agree. In this way I can quote the detail and the general doing more windows and without having to copy the detail. exists in acad for a few years and is very convenient and fast. you do not have to make many styles of altitude as many scales used, but you always use the same style that you scale automatically.
Thank you.

 

[Feagalen]

I use zwcad and autocad.

cmq not for this I introduce myself ... but I would like to know more about the annotative entities (quotes, texts, retini and what else).

is it not that wave you could download the zwcad and check in person the presence of this command... and maybe mark the icon/icon?

you can download it for free by searching on google zwcad or zwcaditalia ... you choose the supplier, apart from something on prices I would say they are identical.

look your new

there

I just bought zwcad pulse 2010 pro after that today they asked me €2750 to upgrade autocad architecture 2009 to 2011, and having seen the winning inter come out from the double challenge with the barcelona, in euphoric wave I trusted my breath, if it is true that there are 360 Chinese engineers, should not be much to improve, and become the most credited rival of acad, if they do not.

 

[ghirosoft]

Yes, yes. We hope they don't sue, but they're good at copying.

hi to all I zwcad installed on windows 7 how do I put retini (.pat) on autocad the path is this:

to use them you must copy and paste the files into the subfolder
"support" of autocad. the location of the folder has a path of the type:
c:\documents and settings\dati applications\autodesk\autocad 2005 (or other versions) \r16.1(17.1) \ita\support

for windows 7 and zwcad what is the correct path?

ps. I only found that on win 7 the folder "documents and settings" was replaced by "users" thank you very much for the help

 

[ghirosoft]

sincerely I don't know that I don't use them and if I use default ones.

I've been using it since March and I have to say that it satisfies me a lot like software, I'm afraid of Italian assistance I reported some bugs but I haven't received any response.

 

[ghirosoft]

Hi.
I don't find any big problems as assistance, but what I ask is mainly lisp and vba.
Anyway a patch came out a few weeks ago and I saw that they corrected something.
I personally had to uninstall it because they changed something in the languages, but only for that, try it.
However we are also satisfied with the money spent:

 

[Feagalen]

I just received reports from a colleague of mine that his zwcad program produced in China does not have a valid license in Italy .... following a control of finance ....
Can someone tell me if it matches the truth?

Thank you.

 

[ghirosoft]

we bought them through a retailer who also came in office with 3 Chinese, a technician, a commercial and I don't remember anymore.

 

[Feagalen]

but they just sent them to me, do you have the office in northern Italy?

I find that retailers are in Veneto, Piedmont and perhaps lombardy.

boh, I will check cmq ... I would not like surprises

 

[ghirosoft]

Yes, from treviso, dealer of padova.

 

[liuk_72]

it would seem interesting this program,
who uses it knows if it has function data fields present in autocad?
Thank you.
