im new to cad and im trying to learn. but, my laptop has windows 8!!! i hate windows 8 with a passion. i had no idea what windows 8 was when i bought my laptop.
so i tried freecad and it seems ok but leaves me wanting a liot more.
tried progecad and really didnt like it.
tried mastercam and its seems like a great cam program but really hard to draw on.
now im playing with viacad and it seems much better than all the others i have tried but i think one of the things that is making it so difficult for me is windows 8. for example in the trial version of viacad im using, i can select whatever tools are on the left but if you click the little arrow in the bottom right hand corner........ nothing happens, no other tools. but you can access the other tools up top with draw and modify.
so im wondering, does anyone here know if windows 8 just doesnt work with most cad programs (i have issues with most cad programs with zooiming in or out and trying to pan, most just dont work. in mastercam you can zoom but if you try to zoom out it just keeps zooming in further.
