This going here (http://www.emachineshop.com/), downloading their CAD tool and doing the tutorial.

It's actually not too bad... easy enough to use and totally free!

The latest version X4 is on sale... if you know a student you can get it pretty cheap.

I've got a Corel 5 disc you can have. It's an old version but still works just fine, esp if you only want a decent drawing program, without too much drama.

Urgh.

Corel sucks. Would you prefer Freehand or Illustrator?

I've got a set of TurboCAD v4 CD's and manuals. It's very old, but might be useful to play with or to use as an upgrade to a new version. At least it's legit.
Happy to donate to you. Shane

I used Corel Draw when I was designing sportswear and found it much easier to use than illustrator etc.

I have Corel Draw 6 in one of my boxes in my lockup in Hastings. Suppose thats not much use to you but could dredge it out when I go to pick up some of my furniture in a couple of weeks?

Corels 6,7,8 were not particularly 'stable' programs. ie often they will 'hang' or spontaneously close down. Always just before you save a great deal of work.
The latest version of X3 is super-good and can be had for about $300.
I've sent Quasi my old Cdr5 which, if it will run OK on XP, should be all he needs.

LOL it'll probably scare him a hell of a lot less than the Adobe Creative Suite I sent him today. :Punk:
