Anyone have an older version of AutoCad LT they would be willing to sell? Doesn't matter what version as long as it will run on Windows 7.

I've been away from AutoCad since 2003 and I lived on upgrades for several generations. My old laptop 'crashed' and my Acad LT 98 was lost.

I have a few household projects to do and the ability to draw straight lines would be of use now. I could do this stuff on a drawing board but I gave up my board and drafting machine many years ago.

Dan,

Have you ever looked at SketchUp. There is a free version out there. I have seen a number of woodworkers talk about how they have used it fro a lot of their work. It supposedly has a short learning curve. http://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-make" target="_blank. Bunch of how to get started on Youtube. While its a 3D program you can do 2D work. Best of luck.

Yup... some of the 'new stuff' is probably OK. But... I'm an AutoCAD guy through and through.

Over the last thirty (or so) years, I've looked at virtually every piece of CAD software on The Planet ranging from high-end Unigraphics solids to the share-ware stuff at the bottom of the heap. I started with AutoCAD in 1982 when the IBM PC was the hottest thing going, booted ACad from a 5 1/4" floppy, and required a math co-processor.

What laptop? I don't know computers for ****, but someone else might...
