Main problem is there are just too many packages to 'try'.

I've used Autocad since release 2 something - I still have the dongle -
and so you get used to the way things happen. So much so that I can't
get on with Autocad after R13 but probably because I don't have the time
to learn the new stuff. The problem with many of the alternatives is the
lack of facilities to tidy up dimensioning - that is the thing that has
got me with Dolphin, and why I've had to drop back to Autocad.
I understand that TurboCad has a similar limitation on moving dimension
lines around to make a drawing readable.
But I stand to be corrected on that.

The main reason for starting this thread was to start to pull together
the plus and minus points on packages since I do not have months to play
with each, and there is not a 'single option' that stands out :(
