What users say

Pros

  • Powerful and practical for sign making, laser cutting, and print production.
  • Generates clean vector files and excels at technical drawings and layouts compared to Illustrator.
  • Perpetual one-time purchase licences remain available, with occasional steep discounts in promotional bundles.

Cons

  • Aggressive licence enforcement triggers false piracy warnings and deactivates older legitimately purchased copies.
  • It crashes, especially on big files.
  • Customer service is hard to reach, and older licences get no help except an upgrade push.
