im downloading it now
Or you could save the $39.95 (Maybe buy a new slingshot) and get Qcad (http://www.qcad.org/qcad.html) for free. It's good enough for us non-professionals.

I'm spoiled, I use Solid Works. It's cool to use the Photo Works mod and make photo realistic pics of your design. Yes those pics are not real photos, they are from cad drawings!
Oops! My bad. I downloaded free QCad (Community Edition) less than 2 months ago. Reading further, I found out that it works only with Unix/Linux. My apologies.
I'm lucky I didn't pay for it, my work did. It's somewhere around 5,000 (I think, it could be more now) and a few grand a year for upgrades.
We build precision measuring machines that measure down to sub nanometer range and sell for $100,000-$1,000,000. Out customers are high-tech semiconductor manufactures that need this equipment. YOU CAN'T EYEBALL IT AND YOU CAN'T GET IT WRONG SOMETIMES! If you get it wrong, then MILLIONS of dollars of product can be scrap. We make a machine that inspects 300mm semiconductor wafers. Each wafer is worth $20,000 (they can be more). It inspects about 100 wafers a day. $5,000 is a drop in a bucket. It's not a matter of principle, it economy's of scale.
