It looks like that Punch ViaCad for $69 would be a great 2D option. Trying to resurrect computers with an OS that is 20 years old is just a study in frustration.
I didn't look at it yet but one thing that is important to me is that whatever software I choose must be able to use all the ACAD drawings I've already drawn over the years. That Progcad looked like a great fit, just like Draftsight was before they got so full of themselves. I was telling an Ex-cop buddy about how Draftsight lured everyone in with free software for many years then suddenly launched the pay/year plan and he said "just like drug dealers do. Get you hooked on the product first then hit you with the bill." I suspect that Fusion360 will play the same game eventually.
