[QUOTE="Brad Weber, post: 51542, member: 114"] Re: AutoCAD Alternative Can you clarify the "exchange with AutoCAD" aspect? Do you need to be able to directly open or save a .dwg file and perhaps to do so for certain versions (e.g. 2004, 2007, 2010 or 2013) of the .dwg file format? Lately, about every three years Autodesk makes major changes to the .dwg files that AutoCAD generates, requiring either using a newer version, using a translator program or having the party providing the drawing file provide it saved as a compatible .dwg version. Do you use xrefs, blocks, plot styles, etc.? Many CAD programs may have similar functionalities but how well they translate to and from AutoCAD varies. FWIW, I used AutoCAD LT for years and only moved up to full AutoCAD after needing to support some 3D work. [/QUOTE]
