The tools and features of this program show remarkable depth and flexibility. As an example, consider the print function. When you print you can chose to print the whole drawing, or only that part currently visible in the window. Further, you can make a printout that will be scaled to fit on one page or you can scale the printout of the drawing in any ratio you like. You can print in either landscape or portrait mode, can print as many copies as you like, can print only certain pages, and can print to a file rather than the printer.
BCAD looks like a truly professional CAD program that you could easily pay hundreds of dollars for. And you can have it for nothing!
