We dumped AutoCAD this year after they refused to offer us an upgrade price (they wanted $11,000 to allow us to use the 2011 version in one lab that was already using AutoCAD LT 2005). We replaced it with CADSTD - http://www.cadstd.com/. We opted for the Pro version (which was still very inexpensive) but the free version is decent.

Problem is the system requirements for AutoCad and you can't download older versions, at least I can't find them. AutoCad 2011 takes 2 gigs of RAM and 128 MB. We need something that takes less resources.

Any associated tutorials would be good to know about also.
