Daniel,and list.
Dave Pearson made some good remarks in post# 35005.
He mentioned that he hadn't used Bobcad 17 so he didn't know the
differences. There are not many but it does crash faster {g}
Dolphin which has been well recieved in the UK for a few years now,is
starting to be used in the US as well. New dealers and support
personell are being appointed in the new year, so I'm told.
Mike Milligan laid a good deal out for list members in post # 34819

This is a very easy program to learn and is full of time saving
features, automatic offsets, automatic lead in and out and a very
simple and clear interface.
Below are some links to screen shots of various operations.
