I have had an absolutely horrible problem with this company. First off, I had used their "free" evaluation program for several years and it did everything I wanted. Then my hard drive crashed and I lost all my programs. I downloaded the new version and was off and running, but then the new (never mentioned until it happened) evaluation period ran out. After a lot of soul searching, I forked over the $149 , downloaded it and tried to install it. It wouldn't run. Same "evaluation period expired error". To make a long story short, after four frustrating days of trying to get something resembling support from them, I gave up and have contacted my bank to cancel the payment.
What I'm interested in is finding an alternative. I use it strictly for furniture and other woodworking projects, so I don't need all the bells and whistles of Autocad, but I want a smoothly functioning program that resembles it as much as possible. Recommendations would be appreciated.
