HI Bill, I was just rummaging around and found a disk of "CAD 3-D" it is pretty easy to use(self teach) and it does 3-d. It does not need a real high end computer(umlike autocad) It will run back to windows 95, 486 dx processor and 4 mb of ram( as opposed to a gig of ram for autocad)If you w

Bill, I have used AutoCAD before and always found it clunky and difficult to use. I recently bought Alibre Design and have been very happy with it. I really like its ACIS model (parameteric design). 3D modelling is very easy. They have a free version called Alibre Xpress. It retains pretty much al

Bill, i am using Autocad 2000. I started out with a version 7 and worked my way up thru 14 and now 2000. Each version is more user friendly by leaps and bounds. If you have any aspirations of interacting with anyone on a commercial basis, it's the only way to go. my little brother tells

I assume everyone has seen www.emachineshop.com. In fact, I think this list was where I originally heard of them. In any case, I've never used them, but they sure look cool. Plan to send them a print in the next month, will report back on the results. Bob

Hi Bill, I think for a new user, I would recommend TurboCad. I have used this(some years ago) and found it to be fairly easy to learn. There are some other really inexpensive(like 10.00) programs, but they are very limited in application. It really boils down to what you want to do with it.

Here is a very intuitive 3D app that just started offering a free version through Google. Tried the demo and it is good for getting rough ideas into a model form but isn't quite up to snuff as far as accurate dimensioning and template printing. http://sketchup.google.com/download.html For just 2D
