The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.
If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall

By the way...thank you for your prompt replies... the matrixes are for CA lines, and Home Designer Enthusiasts separately, but they do not cross over, unfortunately. I'm going to take a more in-depth look at them both by downloading the trial versions also.

PRO could be a way to get started and the upgrade path is an easy one
fully compatible with Chief Premier
use PRO till you run into its limits and then upgrade
look at the comparison chart on the HD website and then the comparison chart on the Chief website
you will have to manually compare PRO versus Chief
then contact CA's customer service and discuss your needs
PRO does have manual roof tools and manual cabinet tools
may be some limitations over chief
PRO is limited to a 1 page layout
you can create many individual pages then use a PDF utility to save as PDF's and then combine as one PDF
essentially PRO has 25% of Chief's features for 25% of the cost
if it was my business I would buy chief....
but PRO makes a good starting place
I think PRO is mis-named it should be called HD Master or HD Deluxe
calling it PRO is probably costing CA sales on Chief Premier
