AnvilCAD Lite is a streamlined version of MCS’ proven Design
Drafter - a module of ANVIL EXPRESS. All of the training and help tools of ANVIL EXPRESS have been included, and expanded, in AnvilCAD
Lite. The following quote shows what professionals in the
CAD/CAM industry think of the MCS help and training tools:

"During the past several years, the cost of CAD/CAM
systems has come down dramatically. Unfortunately, most of the systems
available today still require an inordinate amount of time to master. ANVIL
EXPRESS breaks the paradigm with an extremely productive user interface and
a new concept in interactive multimedia coaching tools. Most design and
manufacturing engineers should be able to sit down and produce useful work
in a matter of hours. You can learn as you go. This is definitely the
biggest advancement in automated learning tools in the CAD/CAM industry."
