Design Cad was their pick. I used the program back in the 80's. It is a very
complete software. It's been around for a long time. I have and use AutoCad.
I don't model woodworking projects in 3-d (I am trained in 3-d). I do make
sketches and plans of nearly every project, including cut lists.

3-d design is time consuming and yields (IMO) very little. Just so you will
know, my 3-d training came when I used the Rebis software. That doesn't make
me an authority, but an informed source. :-)

there is a nice review of various CAD programs as they relate to
woodworking
project design/planning in the latest Workbench magazine. I don't have it
in front of me, but IIRC DeltaCad received kudos for ease of use, but
something like 3D Cad Max or something like that was the author's
favorite.

I am presently a New-be and I'm looking for a nice 3D software package
for
new projects. I know you seasoned chippers will just say "Just Do IT".
I
know but I have to learn for myself. Please advise.

Thanks
Steve
