Rating: - Not worth the time
Purchased this product and found similar problems to what the other reviewers are saying. IMSI can't even figure out how to put out instructions on typing in activation codes. Calls to support team unanswered. It's going back.
Finally got the training CD to work. Don't put in the hyphens on the SN but use them for the activation code!
I don't agree about the manual-it's poorly written. They'll use 3 pages to tell you the simplest thing and glaze over much more ... Read More

I ordered before I read the reviews. DUH. Because of the negative reviews, I tried to cancel.
Amazon said it was too late. But, I could simply refuse the shipment and my money would be refunded. Cool.
Anyway, regarding the negative reviews, I came to the conclusion that this isn't the kind of program some people expected. But that doesn't mean there's something wrong with the program.
Rating: - easy to learn
The only training I have is a mechanical drafting class 30 years ago in high school and using some downloaded cad programs for a trial period, but within a few hours I was able to draw out a new design for a piece of equipment I work on, so for the price I think it is a good program. I wish there were more mechanical symbols, but you can find some on the internet or buy add-ons
Rating: - Nearly useless...
Documentation is thin and almost useless. The activation code for the tutorials doen't work. To get any functionality at all, I have had to rely on familiarity with much earlier versions. Apparently IMSI has decided to extract the maximum money by selling training courses.
Rating: - DOES NOT WORK!!!!!
BUYER BEWARE!!!! I purchased this software from Amazon and the codes do not work. I called the manufacturer several times, was put on hold for about 20 minutes before being told they will call me back. Well, they didn't call me back. Also, I went to their website and filled out a form. No response via email. No help at all! I called Amazon and was told that I could not return the software for a refund although I cannot use it due to issues with the software and manufacturer. The customer service rep ... Read More
