Software cad comparison

There are university teachers, generally obsolete, who tell their students that to place Wikipedia as a bibliographic source is to lower the level of work, but it is certain that this source in a few years will end up being an unavoidable reference for collective knowledge.

Not all are included, especially those of the line IntelliCAD as being BitCAD. And Comparisons include:
