"It's the stingy guy who pays the most" --Click and Clack
Trying to get the cheapest (or free) software is unlikely to save anything.
Ebay has full boxes of recent versions of TurboCAD or DesignCAD with manuals and disks and support and users forums AND FREE SHIPPING for $10. Grab one.
I used to work at a company with a horribly expensive CAD program (Cadra)...$3K/SEAT++++. And if you wanted, let's say, a font, oh that's $$$$ more per SEAT. And they held tutorials for $$$$. Cheeze.... Telling them they were crazy never made me popular.
I was always converting files and doing special jobs using DesignCAD. Furthermore tiny little DesignCAD had a tiny button marked 3D...and that big CAD program could only dream about having a 3D capability.
TurboCAD is similar and better in some areas. Some users do some things in DesignCAD and other things in TurboCAD on the same drawing. Amazing.[/i]
