[Chanman420q]

Is there anything out there like auto cad, but a little more simpler? these programs like autocad and photo shop arent something u can like just fool with and know what your doing, you gotta like be taught it. ANyone know of anything a little bit more simpler

I used to have a program on my computer to design homes with , but don't got it anymore . Auto CAD is quite simple .... once you start learning it . I got a book I can sell you ... ;) barely used . :p It's my old book from College .... I knew everything ... right up until 3d stuff started getting in the mix . Then I gave up . :(

Depends what you want to do and how well you want it to be done.

depends what system you are running. Autocad is a joke compared to SDRC I-Deas. Its one of the top 3-D packages out there and what I use at work.

There are more basic Versions of cadd....You can probably go to Walmart or Staples or somewhere that sells application programs and pick up a cheap copy of something.

I haven't used cadd for a while....I was an expert with Release 12, which was on Dos and you had to type every single command....no clicky clicky.....I had a newer version and it was a lot different.....took me a while to get used to it.

As far as photo editing....my recommendation is learn on photoshop if you can.....it may take a while to get it, but once you do, it will pay off. I learned on Paint Shop Pro, and it's nowhere near as good as photoshop, and now when I try to do photoshop stuff I'm even more confused than if I'd never touched a graphics program in my life.

If you NEEEEEEED a different program besides photoshop, go to www.jasc.com (i think that is what it is) and download the paint shop pro demo.

im in a school right now studying machine trades, and i have to take a mandotory blueprint class, wich is on cad..to learn how to make them, to understand the prints better
