Re: DXF software
Turbocad is about $80, and although it can do 2D/3D, I mainly use it for 2D. There is a learning curve like any others, but it's cheap, and I can find my way around drawing lines, curves and manipulating nodes. Then there is Corel, which I think a lot of people use, but I have no experience with that program.

Draftsight is a free CAD program that works well.

Re: DXF software
Thanks for your reply, I have Turbo cad and I am trying to learn it.
I might look at the draftsright as well.

Re: DXF software
Becoming an expert with any CAD drawing program does not occur overnight. Best bedt is to take a CAD drawing class at a local school.....then go home and start drawing with whatever software you have. Some of the CAD drawing packages have tutorials that will get you going on the basics. After a few months....or a year....it will all be second nature and easy!
