You get any orthogonal view for free with a solid model and they are
fully associative. Change the solid the views update.

Yeah, I know... and if I weren't so busy that I could spend time "getting
addicted", I probably would. But I was brought up in the paper-drawing
era, and it works for the simple parts I *usually* do. I struggle with
full-3D packages, for lack of experience with them.

While Cad/Cam is indeed way cool...I dont need CAM software and I dont
have a big printer so turning out a CAD print is not in my best
interests

And I work on CNC equipment.
