I'll try turbocad. The current version is 8, but they also have
V7 available for free download.

This is the bug i reported on
http://www.prodesktop.net ->discussions ->bugs:

I was copying:
Help|Tutorials|Command Exercises|Using the pattern command

When i put the dimension constraint between the edge of the
arc and the edge of the 'heatsink' shape (25mm), PDT freezes
and i have to kill it. I'm using build 927 on win2k.

Also in that bugs forum there are other things that cause crashes.

All the basic->advanced tutorials i did were ok.
