Until this programme can open .dwg files accurately, it cannot really replace a "commercial" application like TurboCAD.

Need to open .dwg files - pd.thomas
I used TurboCad when it was distributed by IMSI the originators of the program way back in 1990, all I can say is that then it was of comparable price to CADintosh but not at all easy to use, now it is much more expensive how good it is I don't know but one thing is for certain with Vectorworks now pushing the £1000 mark and AutoClunk sorry CAD being nearly 3 times that this has to be a bargain if you dont need 3d and rendering capabilities, and given that Apple has dumped Macdraw, Macpaint, and Superpaint is no longer available I am surprised that this is not more successful as there seems to be little else around, to the extent that several people I know now use Excel for simple drawings! I was about to bin my trusty Mac SE but given that it has several very usable drawing packages on it it has had yet another stay of execution!!!Thursday, May 31 2007 @ 05:28 AM PDT

Hmmmm --- CADintosh, $30"commercial" application like TurboCAD --- $500 to $thousands
CADintosh --- clunky but usable by amateurs within hours
"commercial" application like TurboCAD --- Semester(s) length professional training ---
