No - you *choose* to maintain ACAD because of Protels shortcomings. You can now get a free version of ProE and that does DXF/DWG and Protel provides Camtastic which also does DXF/DWG better than P99SE. I paid about AUD$300 plus two cheap upgrades over the last 5 years for TurboCad - works well enough for all the mech work I do plus some. My point is there are alternatives to ACAD that break the maintenance hold (and good riddance!)
