I got a copy of SolidEdge Layout V12 for free from EDS. For 2D stuff its quite adequate although I'm still learning the menu paths, just started with it. It doesn't quite seem to have the same functionality as AutoCAD 2002 which I also use but who cares to much if it is free.

Apparently you do. Otherwise, why do you subscribe to this AutoCAD newsgroup?

I call my shots as I

huh?

for some reason, seems like a troll

Because one happens to be a baboon, does on really have to jump up on table, and show the whole world that in fact, he is a baboon? That fact that you refer to my earlier thread as "bitching", is furthermore.. a display of your own ignorance and exceeded by your arrogance. Besides that, fact is, you are rude. By the way, I have TurboCAD, so tell me you're letting me know some thing new.

As it happens, I like Autodesk products, and while I certainly admit I have critisms of the products, they are based on my experience with them and I have invested my OWN hard earned dollars into them as well. It is those same critisms that do one day reach the ears of those whole develop them. they're a lot brighter than you and I, if leads to better products and eliminate some of the (tntc) limitations that I, for one have encountered, then better for you and I. Maybe your planet smells like paradise, but my planet is probably typical of what much of the CAD world is going through.

Finally, should you have misdunderstood my earlier (admitedly a rather poorly written) thread, be advised that it was a measure of my excitement at finally taking the plunge into Inventor and the benefits it offers, a good deal that necessary in order to do so, and to get away from some of the redundant forms of design that are entrenched in the use of AutoCAD.
