WHAT ARE SOME EFFECTIVE WAYS TO MAKE YOUR CHOICE?
In ACAD, you’ll find both the LT and FULL versions. GSTARCAD also offers an LT version, but it’s great to note that their FULL version comes in three different options: STANDARD, PROFESSIONAL, and PLUS. This way, you can choose the one that best fits your needs!
For PROFESSIONAL users seeking the perfect blend of functionality and value, GSTARCAD PROFESSIONAL is the clear choice. It provides powerful features such as dynamic blocks, 3D capabilities, and a user-friendly programmable extensions API, all at an attractive price point. Choose the PLUS version only if you specifically need the special “+Parameterise” package or enhanced support terms; otherwise, the PROFESSIONAL version has everything necessary for your design needs.
If your projects are strictly 2D and you're mindful of your budget, consider the STANDARD or LT versions.
However, be aware that while LT does not offer the BEDIT command, it does come with the practical "edit block in place" function, allowing you to edit your blocks like edit external references (refedit). Make an informed decision to maximise your productivity and meet your professional demands!
