RE: TurboCAD...How "user stupid" is it?  Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

IntelliCAD Standard is $149 with manual and $129 without.  Sounds like a
good price.

> 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.
