Hi All,
I am currently using AutoCad but would like to switch to this but I am wondering if you all can help me do this before I commit. Yes I have dowloaded and tried but have not been very successful in figuring it out.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Help
what Im trying to do is draw exactly as shown in the attachment.
I need to be able to draw in feet and inches and continuous. I use my laser measurement tool measure the width of the house and then I want to enter it into the program and so on and so forth. I a having difficulty figuring out how to do it.

Re: Help
Switching to Feet and Inches:
Edit > Drawing Preferences > General > Drawing Unit:
Drawing Unit > Inch
Measurement system: Imperial
Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings > Label Format > Linear Dimensions:
Format: Architectural
Drawing Floorplans
I'd proceed as follows:
1. Start at the bottom left corner as reference with the line tool (Draw > Line > Line from 2 Points)
2. Click into the command line and enter relative coordinates as:
@20'8",0
@0,18'0 3/8"
@6'1 1/4",0
...
For the round part, I'd add a straight line first, then change into an arc later, e.g. creating first a parallel with 1' distance, then using Draw > Arc > 3 Points
