"Great to compare versions of floorplans!"

"A 3D pdf is what you need to easily share 3D models with clients that don't have access to 3D software. This software offers you an easy solution to export 3D pdfs from Fusion 36 ."

"DWG/DXF Compare is extremely useful software. (I purchased it before I had even finished my trial.) It makes it easy to spot differences – even in very busy drawings. This saves so much time and effort for verifying changes and revision control that this plugin is now a part of my regular workflow. Their customer service is excellent. Thanks for a great product and great support!"

"I love it!! WOOOW!! It works!!! Thank you very much, sincerely!! I'm very grateful, you can't imagine how much. I have expended almost TWO YEARS attempting to recover this model in an usable mode for my illustrations.
