Hi Kevin, and that's not a subscription right just a plain old permanent license?

TurboCAD Designer is MAC only, isn't it.

Right, nanoCAD 5.0 seems cool. Have to have a look on the others, too. THANKS for great help !!

there's also LibreCAD
https://librecad.org/

https://www.deltacad.com/

I used this for @ my job for 8 years (1994-2002)

It fulfilled all my 2D needs back then and haven't needed anything more since. (Now not job, just hobby)

Impressive for $40.00

I have not tried Delta Cad, though its simplicity makes me quite interested. However, a bit hard to order from Denmark (money check, US bank etc).

Regarding the other suggestions I have tried some out before and have had a go at the new ones. Software probably OK, but either I did not seem to bother with the learning curve, or I came to short with specific details.

Except for nanoCAD 5.0 that is. I was up flying right away. It is fast and the interface and functions are very similar to the AutoCad Lt and DraftSight that I have used so far. Also the interface easily can be adjusted to suit your taste and needs ... it is free.

Once again, thank you all !!

best
Claus
