Help with autocad

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.

The 2D program "Designer" is going for about $40

When you click on a product then check the links. Many of the products allow you to download it for a free trial.

Also check out ebay. Often older versions are for sale there.

Do you use it for house drawings/plans, Parados?

i use straight AutoCad.
architectural symbol packages do exist -- doors, windows, ect. ...

No, but it is perfectly capable of doing it.

It does have symbols and 3d objects for doing house plans.

Thanks Parados and Region Philbus.

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.
