Perfect. It suits your needs. In the end, that's all that matters.
What matters for me, is that, after I do my presentation, and the
customer and I work out the bugs, I can go straight to production...
with the same files.
I already spent the money on the software and became a 3D AutoCAD user
15+ years ago.
I also found AutoCAD horribly awkward and non-intuitive.
I need the ability to model, such as this:

and when I make a presentation drawing for a custom big-dollar
installation, it also has a complete Bill Of Materials, including
slides, knobs and hinges. On a job like this:

not having to duplicate over and over when customers make changes is
an invaluable tool for me.

Sometimes you need a chisel, sometimes a Multi Router.

btw..eCabinet software is free also. Incredible value, especially when
one can detach from the CNC cooperative and accomplish all this in
house.
