[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by timbowa I use a program called Drafix Cad - no longer made as the company got bought out by Auto%$^& who promptly culled it's best features and released it a Autosketch. Mainly because I work in the building industry and i'm familiar with the package. What generally happens with any CAD package is that you get used to it's features (and bugs) and to swap and change to another involves a learning curve. I tried XTrkCad but I find it easier to work with a general CAD package I know rather than learn a rail specific one.... Mind you I could always develop turnout libraries etc for use with Drafix - shouldn't be too hard..... Tim [/quote] Tim, As I recall the original AutoSketch was a DOS application back in the days of trying to work out how to put a mouse on DOS! Back when mice were worth $80 or $90 dollars! This must have been in the late 80's. When did Drafix-CAD come out? Maybe when Auto-#$(*& got hold of it they merged it into the already existing Auto-Sketch. Sadly Auto-Sketch seemed to get left behind. One of my clients was using it up until 1999 at least, but it never really seemed to work properly on Windows 2000 and had problems even on Win-95. John
