Former Autocad user
I am 74 and retired. I used Autocad from mid-80's until spring, 2009. Unfortunately, haven't used it in the last 17 years. Therefore, I can't say how close it is currently to Autocad. I can say my former experience has helped me immensely in learning ProgeCad with the terminology used with commands, settings, etc. I was just looking for an affordable cad program to help with household projects and that is what ProgeCad has been thus far. Now, if they could come up with an affordable Inventor, that would be cool, too!
