- Nice upgrade to QuickCad
For me, this was an upgrade from QuickCad (also by Autodesk).As a QuickCad user, switching to AutoSketch was a snap.All of the menus are similar, drawing conventions are the same, and it has the same "feel".I found the changes to be improvements in the interface options.Layers can be turned on and off from the drawing page rather than pulling up the layer window.There are better templates for starting a drawing.
I use this program for drawing up furniture plans for my woodworking ... Read More

- help
I discovered my 14yr old son making amazing house plans on our Paint program. He has also designed T-shirts for a BMX bike company.
Which would be an appropriate software program to further his design/architectural interests and talents and not too "over his head" that it would cause frustration and intimadation. Keep in mind he is 14yrs old with no drafting experience.
Thank you,
Mom

- Long time with Autosketch
I have used Autosketch since version 1.0 DOS (some collector?), and have never find something better for that price. Unfortunately it's not allowed to be exported to Mexico (Why Amazon?). My last version is 8.0, and I hope to find V 9.0 on my next visit to US.
I highly recomend it

Re: Mr. Thompson's comment
I made a macro to do the transform operation he is referring to. I select the object(s), press the transform macro I created, then hit the first point and second point. Viola! This program is so easy to use. I figured it out in like 2 hours... Of course there were a lot of things I learned as I went along and if you use it every day you get real fast. It is easy to make precision drawings. Adding dimensions is simple. There are a few things that you figure out as you go along ... Read More
