Been using AutoCAD professionally since 1994, started with release 12 for dos and now using LT2011, used everything in between. But after a brief look at the site, now I'm looking at model engine machining aspect too! Looks very interesting!!įirst post and think I can help on this. Like I've said, I found the forum from my interest in CAD. I would be very interested in your findings and opinions!! What I'm hoping for is some of the CAD experts on this forum that have used Auto CAD and Draftsight to download DoubleCAD XT, compare the packages in terms of user friendliness and AutoCAD LT work-alike. I find Double CAD XT more intuitive and user-friendly than Draftsight (maybe because DoubleCAD XT is so much like TurboCAD) but not sure of the AutoCAD LT work-alike element.

This is frustrating, because I minimal CAD skills and have never used AutoCAD LT!!! I have downloaded both Draftsight and DoubleCAD XT (both free) to determine how much of a AutoCAD LT work-alike they actually are. I can not find reference to DoubleCAD XT which is touted as a Auto CAD LT work-alike. It looks like Draftsight is pretty well thought of on this forum. So I'm looking for a AutoCAD LT work-alike. Although not a AutoCAD course, the school recommends AutoCAD R2000 - R2008. I have enrolled in a "Drafting with CAD" course at a local community college. The tutorial information provided by BigOnSteam is simply OUTSTANDING!!

WOW, some excellent information and recommendations. I have spent a lot of time on the "Draftsight - Free 2D CAD" thread. I'm a newbie and found the forum with a Google search on "Draftsight review".
