Hi all:

        I took 4 classes at night  to learn Autocad and had a steep
learning curve since I
had never drafted before.  I've got R-14 but use VectorWorks ( on a
Mac ) mainly because
Macs are easier ( and I have a 21" monitor on it ). I think most all
modern CAD packages
will import/export .dwg/.dxf files so platform/OS issues are your own
personal preferences.

        Boy, handing a machinist a drawing sure beats a hand sketch:
in racing, I once gave
a  sleeve sketch to a machinist with the ID bigger than the OD!
Luckily, he caught it right
away so I didn't have to eat an invisible part!

Regards,
James
