Visio is about the most anti-intuitive POSS availible, but's it's all I have lol! Necessity breeds invention (and patience!). It took an hour and a half to make those simple drawings. I could have drawn it out and scanned it in less time. I know you were expecting the Winchester Mansion and I hope i didn't disapoint you, lol! At least it won't be haunted.

Let me know about this software that you mentioned if it works out. Everything I've been looking at is $750-$1000.

Before I became a professional CAD jockey, some really nice illustrations were made in Micro$oft Paint. Necessity has given birth to some super-duty Mikegyver creations over the years. ;-)

Anyway, after poking at it for a few hours last night, I'll say that I'm very impressed with this software. The only time it tried to connect to the internet was on startup (to check for updates) which is rare in this price range. It's so much like AutoCAD that I'm surprised there's no legal battle over the interface. The button labeled 'download' on the right side of the "progeCAD 2008 What's new" bar will get you a free version that's truly robust. The professional version costs something like $395 and adds stuff like 3D extrusion capability and some other kinda cool stuff. I'll be buying it when finances allow. The free version should do most of what you'd want it to do for the time being. If you have questions, let me know.
