i think autodesk is more aimed towards other things, just go for autocad. :)

I would just go with autocad, the autodesk just has more features and most people do not use them.:unsure:

I have both versions and when I install one or the other, it looks the same but I been told the autodesk one has more options. Never really went looking though.

I thought Autodesk was the company that makes Autocad. On their website they have nothing about "Autodesk 2005" software. Autocad 2005 is just 2-D drafting software. They have different versions of AutoCad for electrical and mechanical designs. If you want to do something like 3-D solid modeling then Autodesk Inventor or Solidworks is something to look into. I'm pretty sure that the two version that you have are the same just labeled different. After you install the software just go to the help, about to find out.

This program is really good. But I do not think it is geared up for beginners. You could learn to use it, but to be good and fast you have to know how to use a combination of mouse and dos type commands.

Yeah, I think it has its own world like Photoshop but a little worse.
Or better, depends how you look at.

I got the Elektric version of Autocad-2005, was meaning to do some
schemas of some of my Effect-pedals, something pretty simple,
but it was not that simple to draw with.
Of course, the fact that im not electician has a lot to do also, he he.
But just draw some componets and whatnot turns out to be more
difficult than I thought.

I know ts all about the shortcuts, one has to learn to use keyboard
and mouse at the same time.
I think in about a month or two im probably much more wiser bout it, that is,
if I keep doing it.

I downloaded that version cuz I thought its pretty much the standard.
Myabe I should search for a smaller app with little less hassle but
anyways there is a lurning curve for these apps, for me atleast.
