I have been using a program called 3D Home design for years in my residential construction and remodeling business. I have just purchased a plotter printer and the program will not print out anything larger than 8x14. Is there a program (under 200) that will allow me to make floor plans and exterior renderings and print to scale on my new printer?

Hey there,

I use QuickCAD by AutoDesk. It is a very functional CAD program for under $200. http://www.autodesk.com Hope that helps!

QuickCAD is a good option. Another is one of the many versions of IntelliCAD. Prices vary so look around Wink IntelliCAD in case you don't know has been called the AutoCAD clone. Current versions read and write to r2004/2005 file formats IIRC. Good luck.

Not sure if the question is about 2D CAD only, or also 3D.

For 3D, DesignWorkshop:
