20 years ago this month I started using Softplan. One of the best decisions I ever made! 

[Kevin Rabenaldt]

Started around 1993 or 1994.  I forget exactly.

Ya got me beat.  I started in 2006 on V13

[Sam Allen]

I don't remember when I started...but it was version 9 (DOS)….

[Steven Wohlgemuth]

Does anyone have any screen shots of the early versions? It would be interesting! I started with 2012 Lite version I think..

1993-1994 Version 7

[Keith Almond]

I'm not sure of the date ... early 90's ... but I started on V 5.5.2.5

My first two versions were DOS.  4 point something.  Bought it from a retail store in Atlanta.  In 1988 or 89.  I had a Compact computer with a 40 MB hard drive.  Printed the plans on a wide carriage IBM dot matrix printer.  I used it in house to draw floor plans on houses I was building. I upgraded from the DOS versions to V13.  Quite a leap.  Now using V2018.  I have just recently drawing plans for the general public.

I switched from acad to SoftPlan in the early 90’s. To be able to draw all the lines of a wall at one time was a Godsend. No more line offsets

Ah ... you opened the time machine!

I started on V5 and in all these years have not found any other software that I would consider.

Great company with great software and awesome Technical Support !!

I purchased V10, i could break away from Acad, then 2 years later upgraded to V12.  Ultimately decided i have too much money wrapped up in purchasing and upgrading i'd better start using it!
