The advantages of Designer Plus:

LOWER COST
Designer Plus is considerably less expensive than other products that offer the same capability.

1. The largest cost of software is development. By using an off-the-shelf generic 3D CAD program, DesignCAD 3D, as the drawing engine, Designer Plus has cut the cost of development tremendously, without compromising drawing quality. You save money by not reinventing the wheel!
2. Designer Plus does not need the latest in computer technology to operate, by avoiding the latest hardware, you keep more money in your pocket.
3. No annual fees, and upgrades only if you want them. DesignCAD 3D has a simple and powerful programming language and macros that allow you to create answers to your needs. You will no longer have to wait for a programmer to add a cabinet to the catalog, or solve a custom design drawing problem: you can do it yourself.
4. The cost of Designer Plus needs be only a one time expense, plus FREE tech support for both DesignCAD and Designer Plus guarantees the best value.

LEARNING EASE

Unless you use programs regularly, using one program to do several jobs will be easier to learn than learning how to use several specialized programs to solve individual problems. To fully computerize a small cabinet business, you only need to learn and use three professional grade basic programs: a

1. Word processor for:

labels (mailing, and parts)

letters

other documents

2. Spreadsheet for:

bookkeeping

job analysis

purchase order forms

client lists

inventory

cutting lists

material ordering information

estimates (and forms)

3. 3D Drafting program for:

2D & 3D drawing applications

By using a few multi-purpose tools, you cut your software costs and increase the speed at which you learn to use the programs with ease. Designer Plus will aid you when doing any of the items in green above.

EASE OF USE

If you can, type 'CAB', enter numbers and press ENTER you can draw custom or stock cabinets in DesignCAD 3D. By going through the step by step tutorial the basics of Designer Plus can be learned in a weekend.

COMPARE THE VALUE

With Designer Plus and DesignCAD 3D and Pro, you will have drawing capability equal, or superior, to programs of any price. You will also be able to produce estimates, materials, cutting lists, and shop jig patterns.

For less than the price of a few good saw blades you can go a long way toward making the job of selling the project easier for both your client, and yourself. Even before one board is cut you have to sell the job! Designer Plus will make that easier for you, guaranteed!
