I've used TurboCAD for about 10 years. Costs US$129.
Simple enough once you get the hang of it. Draw in model space, define a viewport, switch to paper space, place viewport, scale it, do your labeling and dimensioning, print.
You can draw something once, then save it to reuse in other drawings.
I use it for site plans and more difficult canopy designs.
Currently, school is learning me AutoCAD. It has its pluses, but overall I'd prefer TurboCAD, but maybe that's because I'm more familiar with it.
The industry I'm training for though, has been sucked in bigtime by AutoDesk (AutoCAD), so I'm going to be dragged kicking and screaming to the dark side. Though I've been told the big money is in 12D, which we don't get trained on, we have to fund that ourselves.
