Yeah, too steep for me.  I use AutoCadLT subscription model
Most developers will give us cad files of the power design.  We hopefully can 
get in the same ditch and just use their drawing.

If you want to integrate drawings, then there is the whole landbase issue that 
I have not yet solved.  
Like everything to be in GIS but have not wanted to endure the learning curve.  
I can throw an Google Earth image behind an AutoCad drawing and trace up the 
streets etc in very little time and it is accurate enough to get the permits.

Vetro Fibermap looks pretty nice, the price is a bit steep though IMO. I've 
been using Google Earth.

  We do essentially the same using MapInfo Professional. I'm not sure it's the 
best software but it gets the job done. 

  Some permit agencies require using a locatable method to cross the road. 
Meaning yes you need a drill and cant use a missile or compaction boring setup. 
Worth asking though.

    how are most of you guys getting your design on paper for pulling permits? 
I'm assuming if I design a plant layout on a napkin I need professional plans 
showing ROW location, proposed cable location, depth, streets, etc then you 
take that to the local building department and pull a permit? 

    For rural plowing, do I need a drill to cross side streets and driveways or 
an I get away with a pneumatic missile ?
