Hi,
I recently took a local college course in Autocad 2010 in the hopes of getting rid of my mechanical pencils and napkins, and be able to document and archive my shop drawings.
Well the course was interesting, but it focused more on architecture than mechanical, in fact I was the only one in the class with machine shop background. The teacher said not to worry, CAD is CAD.
I have a license for Autocad 2010 Mechanical. The program looks cool but I am not finding it easy to create drawings. Its still way easier for me to draw on paper.
So does anyone have suggestions for a reasonably priced CAD program that is actually easy to use, and so I can retire the dividers, pencils, and straightedges??
