Absolutely love working with CMS IntelliCAD! I did some prior research and used the free trial option to get accustomed to the features before investing in it. Was nicely surprised to find that they're an American business and have been in the market since the early 90s. This definitely gave me more trust and respect. This software was definitely a good find for me.
