Re: NEWBIE ADVICE PLS?

OK, you and Brian have mentioned file types, compatibility.  What file 
types are there besides DWG, DXF, etc. that could be an issue and which 
packages are compatible with them?  Again, I'm a newbie, so please be 
gentle even though I am already abusing your patience.  TIA

BTW, I saw another prog, TurboCAD.  Do you or anybody else have opinions 
on it?  TIA
