I have used CadRail 7.x for some time and <br />really have learned to appreciate it. At first <br />the learning curve was awful (partly my fault--I didn't purchase the printed manual, which I highly recommend for newbies!) I just had the program and help menus, the help menus are very good but of course a book in hand is soooo much better when you are just getting your feet (mouse) wet. <br /> <br />Now it has paid off, I am able to draw complex railroads on the pc. I dont plan to upgrade, version 7 has got more bells and whistles than I will ever need. One thing that is kind of cheesy, ver 7.x came with a very limited LGB library. Maybe they have a bigger one now, I gotta check that out some day. <br /> <br />But it does do everything I wanted it to do, and now I got the jist of the interface and controls. <br /> <br />I have dabled in "home" style cad programs before, never really gave autocad a look though, and then bought CadRail and understand that the steep learning curve is for a reason. <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Tom M.
