    I am researching which low-cost drawing program to purchase, and have read good things about Autosketch 8.

    However, one thing very important to me for which I cannot find any information is the extent of the included symbols library...how can I find out what symbols are shipped with the program? I am particularly interested in electronics and hydraulics/pneumatics symbols. Perhaps someone could do a few screen prints or dump thumbnails to pdf file to show me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dennis.

    AS8 comes with most general electrical and electronics symbols, including
    some PCB symbols. I don't think it comes with any hydraulic/pnuematic
    symbols, but it's fairly easy to create symbols.

    Thanks for the info.

    For the price, I probably can't go wrong!

    Don't waste your time with AutoSketch.....it's crap.

    Investigate LT....it's still low end in the scheme of AutoDesk...!!!! All
    sorts of "Symbols" can be located via the various search engines, such as
    Google.

    Hello Dennis

    Ric is very misguided with this comment as he likes LT which is 10x the
    price of AutoSketch or QuickCAD which is what Ric uses. AutoSketch is not
    Crap as it does not have any DOS legacy's which LT does and infact Sketch
    will do everything LT does and much more easily if you are familiar with
    Windows functionality.

    The symbols found for LT and AutoCAD can also be used in AutoSketch.

    In some instances Ric is correct and others he is not.

    If you are doing 2D schematic diagrams, AutoSketch is an excellent
    choice. If you are doing 3D mech design, AutoCAD is the better choice.

    AutoSketch or QuickCAd is short money so I would suggest you buy it and
    try it out.
