Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upgrade from Go to Plus or Pro later?
Yes. Hexagon offers a clear upgrade path. Contact us when you're ready and we'll handle the licence upgrade.
Will Design X Go work with my 3D scanner?
Yes. Design X Go imports mesh and point cloud data from any 3D scanner. For direct scanner integration (probe-based scanning), you'll need Plus or Pro.
Subscription vs Perpetual: which makes more sense?
Subscription is best if you want lower upfront cost and predictable annual budgeting. Perpetual is best if you'll use the software for 3+ years and want to own your licence outright. After year 3, Perpetual pays for itself.
What CAD software does Design X Go integrate with?
SolidWorks, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, CATIA, Rhino, and more via LiveTransfer.
How is the software delivered?
Digitally. After purchase you'll receive a licence activation key by email, typically within 1 to 3 business days, along with download links and installation instructions.
Can I get a refund?
Software licences are non-refundable once activated. If you're unsure whether Design X Go is right for you, contact us before purchasing. We'll help you choose.
