Best and simplest technical drawing system as well for advanced inginearing as for 10-years old.
Before I had DeltaCad 8, but lost it with my old computer.
Now I'm lost by opening drawings in that format.
I wish I could buy a new one, but that looks impossible.
Please help me if you can.
It is a good value considering its capabilities. The software appears to have been written in Visual BASIC, so the performance will not be as good as other CAD software written in C or C++.
It’s a shame DeltaCad was discontinued. Guess the developer made enough money off of it to retire.
Hello,
I have been using D-Cad for many years to create industry standards. I am now using Deltacad 8.0. Unfortunately, when I capture the graphics and paste it in my word document, the fonts sometimes squeeze together. The representation of the final product is not appealing.
Also, lately, since I moved to Windows 11, when I select my geometry (I select only the immediate part of the graphics) and paste it onto my word document, the captured window to be pasted is much larger than taken from the delta Cad file.
Can you offer suggestions/recommendations on how to ensure that the fonts remain the same when transferring to a word file and secondly, what can be done to ensure that only the zone I selected will be the one pasted onto the word file?.
I have tried Arial fonts and am now using Times New Roman CE
Erwin Oman,
When I export files to photoshop or otherwise, I generate a jpg file. I take extra care in using layers and generate my jpg's with only the wanted layers. Typically in photoshop I will have 2 or more jpg files with different data, then I can relayer them in photoshop. Now WARNING when you set up your jpg, you will want to experiment with the scaling as the jpg generator will scale differently from other ways of saving and exporting. If you generate multiple layers of the same drawing, make sure you do not change even your screen view, or you will get ugly results. Just turn on/off layers and regenerate a new jpg. I would like to know how well DC 8 works on win 11, if you could give that info. Thanks.
I've used the basic macro in DeltaCad to design sundials, both large and small for the last 20+ years. The macro allows sophisticated computations for setting various aspects of the sundial with great precision (such as hour lines). There exists a great number of DeltaCad basic scripts for a wide variety of sundials...some that are very unusual.
I've used DeltaCad to export DXF files for cutting aluminum vertical sundials that are approximately 12x15 feet (4mx5m) and have had no problem of commercial houses using the DXF files.
I too have used this deltacad for the 45 day trial and its all I will ever need as a small drafter. I am now going ahead and buying this program, solely because it was no fuss to download the trial version, unlike many of the others that offer a trial , were you can't print or save.(what are they afraid off) deltacad trusted me with this 45 day trial and having proved its worth I am buying it.
I am using DeltaCAD 5.0. DeltaCAD is 2D, but, so is paper, and the Internet (3D computer files are a falacy). I find v5.0 to be easy to learn, and easy to use. I have even learned to do ISOmetric drawings. However, I use Misfit Modeler 3D to make perspectives to insert in DeltaCAD, as well.
I give DeltaCAD 10 of 10. I have tried others, and always come back to DeltaCAD.
