Now that would be useful. At present I need to do that with a measuring stick and blow ups.

That is how I got my AutoCad But I have been retired for 19 years now and don't have that resource.

May I suggest to the original poster, Autosketch Ver. 10 at about $350 it is the latest and compatible with AutoCAD as its produced by Autodesk. (Check out the Autodesk site). It's available through many dealers including HT. Autocad is the industry standard to drawing as Photoshop is to image editing and well worth learning if you get the chance and have the time..
I do occasionally look at their web site in case of bargains
