Is there a cheap cad software package that I can get for Windows 2000.  I
looked and found some interesting and outrageous prices.  I want to model my
installation but not that bad!
Any help to find a reasonable alternative for 3D modeling would be
appreciated.

Dave:
Go to Google and type "FREE CAD" you may get a hit. Most cad software
is geared toward business, so it is very expensive. You also don't learn it in a day or two. You
didn't say if you was interested in 2D or 3D? Modeling is another case also. Some of the cad
programs that come to mind that are free is TurboCad 2D, Intellicad, DanCad(old), there are
others. There is student versions of most cad programs if you know anyone going to school or works
at one. Look on ebay, I bought a 2D/3D program new in the box for $35. You can also get any
cad/cam/cnc software you want off the net. Download the program imesh free from www.imesh.com and
install it then just type in cad, you will find just about anything you want from mp3, all
software, movies, etc. There are other programs like imesh, Kaza, hotline, etc. Enjoy. :)
