Hello,

I'm looking into purchasing some CAD software (it has to have a very short
learning curve). I've looked into Rhino and some of the other packages out
there but I've found the prices/licensing and learning curve a little too
much for home use. I've stumbled on TurboCAD Deluxe16 (2D/3D) and I was
wondering if there are people out there that can suggest if this is worth
getting or even suggest a better package. The price seems right, but for
long term use is it worth it?


Thanks in advance,

For long term I recommend taking a course in a junior college or adult
classes of any kind and then use that as evidence to get Rhino at a discount.

You don't actually have to attend the classes. Unless of course they
teach Rhino.

For real simple quick and dirty Qcad is free and it will import/export
2D dwg from/to Rhino.

        Also if it's simple (like pulley's etc ) Emachine has a fun CAD that's super quick to tlearn, Plus i use it because they quote instnatly the cost of any part you desighn on that software.  It renders too!  very fun and useful for budgeting/getting a handle on it.
