progeCAD 2008 Smart: the freeware CAD finally available!

I have tried Procad and although it works OK there is still a learning curve. I have used Autocad for 26 years now and am reasonadly proficient in 2D drawings. It is expensive so I have not upgraded since 1990 (Autocad 11 for DOS). However I work backwards I do the drawings after I make the prototype! I also have a copy of Autocad lite for Windows. This is great for transfering drawings into MSword but has some limitations in facilities for drawing although it will display them OK

There are other CAD drawing programs but they are all difficult to use without practice.

I might add here that Autocad is so important to my computer operation that I dual boot from Windows 98-2e because I need the DOS 7.0 to run Autocad 11.0.
