I started out on AutoCAD version 10 (for over $8000!!!)
I didn't like it then - and still don't.
I've seen a few ACAD systems brought up to near the same level
via macros, but those generally don't come with the system.
And none of them have the gravity point select feature from DCad.


We couldn't afford AutoCAD, and really didn't have a use for it, either.

But, the "inner circle" who ran the 14,400 baud computer club BBS I was a
member of, used to have several hidden-from-users little places where
various DOS softwares COULD, if one were to look, download some pretty
expensive stuff, like the absolute bleeding edge versions of AutoCAD that
made it onto those directories as if by magic, the very day the version was
released....(c;

Spending 14 hours downloading something amazing at 3AM on a workday didn't
seem that unusual, either!....(yawn).....

Lucky for them the soundcard and nice graphics card hadn't been invented
yet. We didn't have all the music and movies until years later.....(c;
