architect drawing software

Any one no of any?

Had a customer request a drawing of what they want doing within a rewire.

Just thinking that would look a lot better if i use the proper drawing software for this.

Cad, vista, turbo cad etc....

TurboCAD or Visio, but be prepared to spend about 10 years learning how to draw a plan with any of them. It'd be loads easier, and cheaper, to get someone to do the plans for you. Think we found someone online last time, Google will find them.

Other option, depending on what the customer wants, is just use MS Paint to draw a sort of house shaped box with the devices marked out in a generic format and number them with a key attached.

if u use vector works you can draw a plan with electrical symbols within minures....

Smartdraw is one of the 2 progs I have; which I (in truth) don`t use all that much; but does a nice job.

I`ve got another here somewhere, but the name escapes me. prob. to do with the current alcohol levels

Had a quick surf and found this, you can try it for a 10day trial. Its more for the US but can't see why it would not work for UK drawings.

Have a look @ google SKETCHUP it's free and quite impressive.
