I just bought a QCAD CAD/CAM license to have around. We have AutoCAD as well as DraftSight. I am happy to support this effort, particularly at such a low cost. The CAM and nesting part might actually find immediate use driving our laser cutting/engraving machine. I haven't installed it yet, will play with it tomorrow. Any clone or alternative to AutoCAD eventually has to implement LISP support. DraftSight has it. We have fairly extensive AutoLISP code that turns ACAD into quite a powerful tool for the right type of job. The codebase was developed for the design and construction of large technical installations where you have to manage thousands of cables of different types, calculate lengths, produce wiring lists, labels, etc.
