I don't know about "Truth" but your post will not be edited or deleted, unlike some other forums which I will not mention. You're entitled to your opinion, but seriously, you clearly stated that you haven't used Autocad since version 2000, so how can you criticize a program you know very little about? It has become very popular to bash Autocad lately because it doesn't do this or it doesn't do that. In all honesty, EVERY program has its pro's and con's. There is no such thing as a perfect program that will do everything that everyone wants it to do. I have tried several different CAD programs and in my opinion, there is no better 2D drafting program than Autocad. Bricscad is a close 2nd though.

What makes you think that what you are saying is truth as opposed to opinion? These kinds of posts claiming a greater good usually come from narrow minded people who don't realize how versatile AutoCAD is. If it doesn't work the way they think it should, they automatically blame the programmers for not implementing a feature or fix. SMH...

Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, Autocad has the same thing. It's called SNAPANG. Set it to the angle you want, turn on Ortho and away you go. When you're done, set SNAPANG back to 0. Are you saying Datacad allows you to set multiple angles? I prefer Polar Tracking though. It's much easier and faster and you can snap to any angle increment on the fly rather than having to stop and set the angle manually.

You mean like this? OK, sure, that's the reason right there. nothing but a C-O-N..spiricy! LOL
