I see from reading here that a lot of people are using CAD for their designs. I use Pro Landscape and have tried Dynascape. I wish I could put them both together to make one solid piece of software. Pro Landscape is much easier to use and work with (in my humble opinion), but Dynascape seems to put out a much nicer end result when working in CAD.

I don't use the 3d side of it, much. First of all, it's too time consuming. Second of all, you can't always get a good picture of the home you're working on to make a full design. I mean, it's good if you're doing a front bed or something, but to do a full design with front, back, sides of homes etc., would be very difficult to do. You'd have to have half a dozen pictures to show the full home.

No, I don't use the 3d, although I like the output when I can use it, but Pro Landscape suffers in its lack of useable symbols and hatch patterns. I see beautiful designs created in Dynascape and compare them to Pro Landscape and Dynascape is, again in my humble opinion, the clear winner.

The proposal side of both those software packages leave very, very much to be desired. I use a seperate software for that.

When I started this post, I didn't intend it to be a review. I was wondering is someone has or would share CAD symbols here. Maybe the moderator could setup an area on this site where people could exchange CAD symbols and hatches.
