    MY CAD PURCHASE EXPERIENCE. A MUST READ! 

    This is not a sales pitch! IM NOT REPRESENTING ANYONE or ANY
    COMPANY! 

    About 3 months ago now, I was finalizing my decision to purchase a
    CAD program. Wrote in this forum, several times. Only got responses
    directly from 3Design and a guy that used to work for Matrix. The day
    prior to attending a training class for 3Design in LA, I got a call
    from Monarch. At this point, I was skeptical about this new program
    since hardly anyone in this forum has actually used it. It was in
    this forum, that somebody had mentioned Monarch. 

    Prior to making my final purchase, first, I got a demo from Nick
    (3Design). Showed the guy a ring that I wanted him to make in front
    of me. His response was "I'm not here to make your jewelry." You will
    learn everything during the 4 day training class" he assured me. What
    followed was a series of pre-made tutorial video demos, which the guy
    was pretending to do the designs right in front of me. Magically, at
    a click of a button, the render was finished in less than a second.
    Someone with a basic IQ would realize that something smelled fishy.
    The worst thing was the guy that I did the demo with got mad at me
    for wanting to schedule the training class in LA instead of Toronto.
    I live in Vancouver, BC, why would I get support from a different
    time zone? I also noticed several responses in this forum, which
    caught my attention. Notice that some responses favouring 3Design
    were made by users that have only responded once, with names
    sometimes mispelled or not matching the email names. Searching the
    names within Ganoskin and the Internet would generate only one entry,
    for example, try typing in "Tony Nowles" in Ganoskin (2007 entries)
    or in Google even. Something's wrong! Notice the mispelled url
    address in that particular email as well. If there's a real Tony
    Nowles out there, please contact me!!! I apologize in advance if I am
    wrong! There are several entries like this in this forum. Investigate
    and see for yourself! 

    Also, something that I've realized, is that there is no way that
    someone can possibly learn CAD in 4 days, no matter how high your IQ
    is or how much previous CAD experience you have. Remember, they are
    charging anywhere from $1000 - $2500 for these 4 day classes. What do
    you truly expect to learn in such a short time? This goes for any of
    these programs. 

    I truly feel that the folks at Monarch have got it right! They tell
    you straight up, that to be successful in CAD you need proper
    training. No "magical" 4 day classes and you will learn everything
    crap, milking you along the way! That's why they offer lengthy
    courses from 1 to 2 months three times a week. Just get a demo from
    them to see for yourself!!! 

    I'm about a month into their training now, and let me tell you that
    I'm really happy with the classes and the designs that I've made
    using their program. It's also a true hybrid modeler, unlike what
    other softwar programs claim to be. 

    Listen, DON'T FALL FOR THE "Our program is soooooo easy to use" CRAP
    that's out there! 

    I'd like to hear your experience, good or bad! Opposition is
    encouraged! 

Weldy
