Nice program if u know what it's for, 2005-11-08
A-sketch 9 is a good value for the $$. It is NOT an illustrator program, it is for drafting, and if you don't understand drafting conventions get something else. Most of the specific complaints posted other buyers are invalid and caused by their own misuse. I found it intuative, complete and versatile. The improved layer system is a major plus, and it comes with a bigger built-in library than I expected for the money. It won't do 3-D and (sadly) doesn't have a perspective view capability. But hell, it's only a hundred bucks.....

 A MS clone corporation, 2005-10-29
AutoDesk Corp. is exactly like Microsoft Corp. in that they have known software *bugs* in their products but refuse to issue fixes for them. Then they release a new version which supposedly fixes the *bug* and expect you to PAY THEM AGAIN. They do that because they have a near MONOPOLY on the CAD market.
I owned QuickCAD and was quite pleased with it. It was faster, better and MUCH cheaper than AutoSketch or AutoCAD. Then Autodesk bought the QuickCAD company and no more updates were available. Autodesk required me to purchase AutoSketch as an "upgrade" to obtain compatibility with MS Win2k OS. AutoSketch 6 was supposed to incorporate QuickCAD code and it did _partially_ but not enough to be the same quality of CAD software. THEY HAVE NEVER FIXED AUTOSKETCH and EVERYTHING BAD that has been written about the software is TRUE. In particular this product, Autosketch 9, is priced at THREE TIMES what the MSRP should be.
I have been using it for over five years. It drives me nuts when I want to something simple because they make it very complicated. Whenever possible, I use something else. There are LINUX CAD solutions capable to do most drafting type work and the basic programs are FREE(the "professional" versions cost about a third as much as AutoCAD). Of interest to you, probably, is that they will import and, some, export AutoCAD files.
...
If there is anyway possible, stay the H! away from anything to do with Autodesk. I do, now, but I am not tied to some corporate kickbacked mandate...

AutoDesk AutoSketch 9, 2005-09-30
Had QuickCad for years, but Autodesk quit supporting it, so I looked around for another economical CAD program. Settled on AutoSketch9 because it was very similar to QuickCad. I find it very easy to use and it does everything I want in 2D. Doesn't have true 3D capability, but I don't need it. Has many, many functions which I learned after much experimentation. Manual could be better. Working with layers is difficult and certainly not intuitive. All-in-all, a very good CAD program for the cost. More than enough functions for the average user. I planned out an entire sun room addition on my house right down to the stud placements with no problem.

 Autosketch finally gets proper layer management, 2005-09-26
i just jumped from autosketch 7 to 9. the big thing I notice is layer management has been hugely improved - like in autocad.
I am not certain if version 8 had the upgrade or not, but the jump from 7 to 9 was worth it for this alone.
I am sold on Autosketch 9
