Hi Bryan,
You make a good point here....for some work Autosketch is just fine...it you are good enough to hand code.
It is very important that a package fits the way a person thinks...and that can be very different than someone else.
I tried BobCad demo and it just doesn't fit me. Some day I will find an affordable package that thinks the way I do. (rots of
ruck).
