 AutoSketch 9 - The whole 9 yards, 2007-01-09
This program is a straight shooter, right out of the box. Intuitive, and yet, totally customizable. I learned to draft before there was CAD. I've been a hand drawer ever since because of cost and complication. I completed my first project using AutoSketch 9 in the same (or less) estimated time doing it by hand - and I hadn't even opened the manual. With an extensive (very) library, and total scaleability - This is a home run!!!

Good Basic CAD Program, 2007-01-04
I am very pleased with AutoShetch 9, it does everything I need, except, it is not compatiable with Symbols 2000. Amazon sells Symbols 2000 as an add on to AutoSketch, it will not work. If you don't belive me, check it out at the AutoDesk web site. What it does is well worth the money.

 AutoSketch-9, 2006-07-30
I think that the program is good. I find it somewhat hard to use, however my assessment is quite unfair in that I have been using AutoCAD-2000. The difficulty lies in "backing up" from the premier software to software understandably not as capable. There is another learning curve to navigate.

 Good value, different look from AutoCAD, 2006-05-10
I have been an AutoCAD user for about 13 years. In starting my own business, I wanted an inexpensive tool that would allow me to produce 2-D drawings accurately and efficiently with the skills I already have.
AutoSketch 9 seems to have all the tools I need, like drawing tools, modifying, layers, blocks, object snaps and inquiries, but the icons are often different than ACAD, and less intuitive. Some of the terminology is apparently designed for non-engineers (e.g. "group" instead of "block", "transform" instead of "modify"), so I have to translate from what I'm used to. But essentially, it does the job and fit my budget.
For comparison, I also downloaded a free 30-day trial of IntelliCAD from Autodsys. I liked the look and feel of it better than Autosketch, but the base cost for the standard version is $149, and I paid around $50 for Autosketch through one of Amazon's 3rd party sellers. So I guess I'll stick with what I have, unless I get really annoyed by the icons, or find some other limitation I can't live with.
Added 7/6/06: I wasn't able to enter numeric coordinates in AutoSketch! This is a must for me, so I ordered IntelliCAD and will not go back to AutoSketch.

Good basic CAD program, 2006-04-24
An excellent basic computer drafting program. User inferface that is not too dificult to pick up, and includes a reasonable collection of symbols. Help is fair. I could use more information fairly often. No programming interface that I have found. No auto-dimensioning. Snaps and alignment are always problematic and there is no solution here.
A high bang for the buck item.
