    "QElectroTech review"

    Posted 2026-02-06

    Pros: Nothing. I liked nothing about this, but I never got past trying to create a title block, so for me there is NOTHING to like.

    Cons: The dev's use of unusual methods to do simple tasks

    Overall: Note: I've come from a patchy history of CAD, using various programs over the years, but now I'm just wanting to do occasional drawings.
    QET - I couldn't do what should be a simple thing, creating a custom title block. Nothing I did could get my logo to insert, following QET's online instructions precisely was a waste of time. What they describe and what was happening on my screen were two different things. Maybe a version change so I messed with it for a while but 2 hours later still couldn't do this (usually) simplest of tasks. The overall title block editor was excruciating to use. No title block, no drawing so I have no idea how the rest of the program performs, just that I want nothing more to do with it.
