 Apparently AutoDesk
discontinued the QuickCAD program that we recommended as the
most cost-effective CAD tool for storefront drawings. They now
are selling a NEW program called AutoSketch which
can be found for under $130. A little more costly than QuickCAD
was, but it should be equally effective. Search for AutoSketch
on the web to find the retailer of your choice.
