This has probably been covered, but pleae advise...

I did an Outlook search for CAD but nothing came up in thr rec...I'm just
looking for something easy to use for 2d or 3d furniture design. I've tried
atoCAD but it's just too steep of a learning curve -AND expen$ive. Anyone
have luck w/ a different program?

Thanks!
Fred

I use IMSI TurboCAD Designer v7. It is fairly easy to use and if I remember
right, it was around $30. I use it in it's most basic form to do 2D
drawings. I have not taken the time to do any 3D. I got it at Staples. It
works well for me, don't guarantee it will work for you. (and for all you
guys out there who are cynical, I do not represent or get any money from
either company)
