Can anyone suggest a goo CAD or home design program? Nothing too complex, but with some good features.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Killer V,
I use datacad which has the second highest amount of users next to autocad. It is a full featured program that is resonably priced for the pro. Learning curve is days not months like autocad. $1000.00 or so for first license but well worth the money if you are doing this as a profession.
If it is for home projects and simple layout with 3d capabilities I reccomend broderbunds 3D home architect which os $39.99 or so. Has strong libraries and you can import photos of your lot as a back drop. Really strong little program I use for the 3D for quick presentation drawings and walk throughs.
I hope this helps.
