CAD Drawing program needed
Does anyone know of a low cost CAD program I could use for drawing? I need to put together some electrical schematics and panel assemblies.
Autocad is quite expensive! 900.00 for the full LT 2008 package. Thanks! |

Auto Sketch is a good program that will convert to and from Auto Cad. It includes a ton of symbols library's. Cost is around $120.
I have used both and they are similar in how they layer, etc. Tim.

If you know anyone still in college, try looking at what on-campus prices are for ACAD LT and the like. You'd be surprised at what is offered and at what prices to college students. I picked up a copy of MS-Office that way for around $80 (full cost was about $400 at the time).

student cost is good route to explore
you can try something like this
http://www.cadcampus.delmar.cengage.com/#autocadlt It can be ordered by k-12 students, facility or college students, do you have kids? you could buy it for them. and of course use it too. Looks like $149 or 159 if you qualify good luck Howard

I just got a copy of AutoCAD 2008 - but I never tried it. I also have a AutoCAD 2007 - that I use daily.
These are full working versions - not LT. Send me an email (mmandell@att.net) or PM if you still need it and I can arrange to send you a copy of the disk. If you have access to an FTP server I might be able to upload the files to it. Mike |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
