Today, I received an evaluation copy of CADian Arch which is a low cost drafting package based on IntelliCAD. The “Arch” part is a set of routines for architectural work. All 2-D of course.

Since it runs for 30 days, I should know in a little while whether I want to buy it or not. At first glance it seems quite good, but it will need further testing for stability and ease of use. They claim full support for lisp files and custom menus. Well, we shall have to see.
