Occasionally I have to open & edit a DXF or DWG drawing sent in (in millimetres). Or I would like to edit a solidworks generated dxf/dwg drawing.
I find the Solidworks drawing interface too 'clunky' and so slow for this ?because its more designed to detail up Solidworks views of models. I have tried Visio and Sketcher as supposedly simple 2D CAD editors ? but found them lacking particularly as they are set up to default to inches and importing scaling dxf/dwg in mm seems to be very complex, although editing line etc. not too bad.
I used to use a brilliant program by engineered software called PowerCAD (or PowerDraw) ? simple, elegant etc..... BUT only for the Mac. Does anyone have any suggestions, especially the lower cost/simple variety as this for occasional use.
It would be a bonus if such a program was also 2D parametric too !! but I guess that's too much to ask.
How do others get round / work with these issues - Thanks in anticipation ? Mark, UK
