What do you dislike?

Graphic User Interface (GUI) needs imrpovement.

What do you like best?

Excellent tools for civil engineering solutions.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Examine the team needs.

What do you dislike?

Nothing with the product itself, but support seems to be a little lacking at times. It could be a few days before we even have someone acknowledge our tickets and sometimes it could be in a few minutes. more consistency in this area would be nice.

What do you like best?

Compression ratio of Files,Easily Configured,Easy to Use.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you are doing basic drafting this is the package for you, but if you're doing specialized engineering then look into one of their other packages

What do you dislike?

Sometimes it is difficult to find the correct systems variable to change. Maybe a plain yes no toggle instead of 0 or 1 or whatever.

What do you like best?

I like that I can customize the menu so that I can use my CLASSIC setups.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Compare it to Autodesk Civil3D and you will see that PowerGeoPak and Microstation are easier to use. The main advantage is the Design and Computation Manager in PowerGeoPak. This tool is used to quantify and tabulate roadway quantities for construction. Autodesk does not have any such too. FDOT was forced to create a program from scratch to do this work in Civil3D.

What do you dislike?

Sometimes the software can freeze/lag when exchanging between files or using multiple files at once. The latest version of powerdraft has some issues with plot files and with the drawing border not scaling or aligning when the drawing scale is changed. Some improvements could be made to some of the editing and modify tools such as trimming and extending, and also the fillet and chamfer tool. Autocad has a more simple and effective tool for this purpose. For some who have had little training the programme may appear a little overwhelming with all the options on show

What do you like best?

The software has a simple Interface and meets our 2D CAD needs. The ability to turn on continuous saving of files is also useful, and referencing is simple. Other products I have used in the past don't offer this benefit. The general range of tools for drafting are good and cover most of the needs required. Customising the location of tool bars and docking of the primary tools is useful. Setting up of plot files to create drawings is simple and allows easy generation of drawings.

Worthwhile for those waiting simple tool for drafting and modelling
