[TheForge] I think I found my cad

Fri Dec 14 12:34:01 2001

I looked into intelliCad I think all the versions out there have requirements far beond my machine. I did down load the TurboCad 2D and it works fine, but seems to be a little user stupid. I also have an old version of AutoCad mabye version 10. I think that the whole thing is on 4 or 5, 5 1/4" floppies. Two tell the truth, if it would run on this machine, I would use it. I do have an old 486 maybe I should just find an old printer. All I really needed was something to put out a dxf and dwg files. Any design work that I do is for myself, mainly to make blacksmithing tools. I wanted the dxf, so that I could send things out for laser cutting.
Thanks all
