Is anyone familiar with a good, reasonably priced CAD program for drawing house plans? My guess is that a dedicated program would suit me best but if there are good multi-function programs, I'd like to hear about them too.
What do you consider "reasonably priced?"
I have version11 of TurboCad Pro that does most of what I need done. I got an earlier version (6?) on sale and then do an upgrade every so often for a couple of hundred bucks. The new full version runs about $1200.
TurboCad Deluxe is currently selling for about $130. It looks like it will actually do 3D.
Would it be a good idea to get a new, in the box older version, [at least that's what the ebay ads say], eg, Turbocad Version11 to see if it fills my needs. Can I then upgrade from any older version?
Sometimes its cheaper to buy old versions new and upgrade. The only way to know is check the price of upgrade and the old software compared to buying new.
