    I have Autocad 2006, but buggered if I can get my head around it! I always end up using MS Publisher as it gives me measurement and intuitive drawing. It's just one step up from pencil, paper and ruler but most of my drawings end up being adjusted come manufacturing anyway. However, having seen some of the pro CAD plans here I can see the benefit of this level of drafting.

    I guess you've just got to decide on one and get into the learning tools and help files.

    I use CadStd. It is simple and they have a free version. The full version is inexpensive ($37.50). One of the features I like is the drawing and text will export into a DXF format so I can convert it G-code for my CNC machine.

    Been using TurboCAD for years. Every now and then I will upgrade by buying a version that's only two or three versions out of date. Ebay seems to be a good source for the older versions.

    I have found "Moment of Inspiration" (http://moi3d.com/) very good for a person who hasn't used 3D programs very much before - i.e. Me.

    Still in Beta but you can download it and it won't time out until 25th November. Looks like the final price will be $195...

    Cheers
