2D models can most certainly be printed with Rhino, not unlike AutoCAD
outputs.

That's a good program if your goal is to draw a picture of your project. I
was thinking of buying Rhino a while back but it doesn't have any way of
generating 2D prints from the model. I use Turbocad Pro. Full 3D solid
modeling and 2D prints generated from that model.

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? ;~)
