Hello Paul 'n' All,

I'd appreciate advice and input about cad packages.
Is there any consensus on the merits or otherwise of packages on offer?
My main criteria (I think) are :-
1) Ease of learning and use.
2) Cost
3) 'Extensions' ie) x,y,z output files? availability of CNC machine tool
path o/p ?
4) Ability to derive or i/p sections (in different?) planes and to
rotate etc.
Items 1&2 being paramount.
Maybe my criteria are naive, if so please educate me :-)
Regards & thanks,
Harry S

I am kind of hung up on older versions of ACAD on DOS so I am the wrong
person to talk to. I find Solid Works really hard to learn. Windows versions
of ACAD are way too slow for me.
