Nobody's mentioned Rhino3D, which I have at work. I have been using AutoCAD
for years as well, but Rhino is amazing for wood projects. It's a true 3D
program, in that you draw in 3 axes, and it's damn easy to learn. What I
love is how simple it is to add lights and shading and wood bumpmaps to the
model, to really get a feel for how something is going to look.

I most likely will. I think I would be taking a step backwards if I went
back to AutoSketch from AutoCAD LT.

I agree, it would be going backwards. Howerver, it easy to learn, very
accurate and cheap. My post was really for those who are looking for new
software. However, if I'm going to shell out $500 + bucks for CAD
software, I think I would go with the industry standard as much as it irks
me. Remember all the old word processors and spreadsheet programs from
the
past? ;~)
