lemastre,
I dont know shat version you are working with, but the software is definatly more powerful than the price! The possibilities with SU are there, you just have to quit thinking your working with cad. Hang out around here, check out back-to-school tutorials, the standard SU tuts, and there was a guy around named diedre bur (sorry about messing up the name) who had some very good plan drawing tutorials that will get you started quick. I think he is found on the Spirit Cad site. If that doesn't work I can get you a contact. good luck.
