LuSiD's Cabinet question
lusid:
You're welcome.
And thanks for the warm welcome. I should poke my head in here more often. So many hobbies, so little time.
TMA, nice cab. The keyboard tray and the front mounted CDROM are nice touches.

What CAD Software are you using? Also, quite another question, what would you recommend for a non-cad user? Some overall combination of cheap / free / somewhat easy / not completely devoid of features would be great.
I just downloaded DeltaCad and I'm checking that out.
Thanks,
Chris

I'm currently using AutoCAD 2002. Recommending this to a non-cad user would be similiar to recommending PhotoShop to a non-gfx user, if you take my meaning. I'm not very familiar with freeware CAD software, but I did have some kind of free Linux CAD software installed on my Linux box a while back. I thought that one was fairly simple to use, but I already have quite a bit of AutoCAD experience that likely carried over. Sorry I don't have the name of the Linux CAD software, I need a new power supply for that box and I can't fire it up right now. :(
Sasquatch!:
While it's not a CAD program, Visio can do a bit of that kind of thing. I use Visio and it works pretty well (and yeah, I don't know a damn thing about any of the CAD programs either...except for how their licensing works).
crocklobster:
Does Visio automatically do measurement and angle markings? For that matter, does CAD, or do you have to annotate them yourselves anyway? It seems like some of the power of CAD would be automatic annotation of a diagram.
