Jeeze, that is one heavy set of specs - never seen anything like that on the
commercial stuff I've worked on (I guess the architects might see that much,
but it's a lot slimmer by the time it gets through to the contractors).

Still, I probably won't be doing much of that any more, now that I've
switched careers (again). Now doing techie stuff in a large electronics
company - plenty of variety. Main job is to design and develop test gear
for, and provide support to, the engineers who develop the products we sell.
As part of that, I'll be migrating from AutoCAD to Solid Works - a seriously
3D CAD package which I've supported in an IT capacity, but haven't really
used.

Did you get a look at IntelliCAD yet? I hear it's essentially an AutoCAD
clone (or part of it is, at least).
