<DIV><FONT size=3>I bought <EM>TurboCAD Pro Platinum 18</EM> with two training CDs. <A href="http://www.imsidesign.com/" target=_blank>http://www.imsidesign.com/</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>It seems to be a great program with full volumetric and parametric capabilities (important). I think Steve McQueen uses it. Besides all the features, I chose it because of the huge discount for not being the very latest release. A new release comes out at least once per year. The version updates are reasonable, but it's not at all necessary to get each one as they're released. I didn't buy <EM>AutoCAD</EM> because of the high cost, however with the eligibility to get the educational version that consideration might disappear.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Very true. I am still in the research phase and will put together a full spreadsheet. I do the same thing when I build new stores. It is possible to find the project is not feasable and move on to the next idea too.</DIV>
