    "progeCAD is essential for small orders deployment and block management in mechanical equipment. With progeCAD, Schneider Electric can observe all market standards, guarantee DWG compatibility, and manage multisheet drawings for a low cost."

    Ing. Graziano Vimercati - Electricity and Automation Management
    Schneider Electric - www.schneider-electric.com


    "When our company needed to upgrade AutoCAD I tried ProgeCAD LT. When I told our department about ProgeCAD Professional and how it is about one third the cost and out performs AutoCAD LT, they were excited. I highly recommend ProgeCAD to anyone seeking a full featured CAD program at a reasonable price.
