Summary
I download free versions of software to see if they are worth buying. Indicators of their worth are: ease of use, help base, and options available. JustCad scores 1 out of 3 for my needs. If anyone out there can tell me how to stop lines from automatically pinning themselves to the last point, and how to stop the continuous line, I will give you my first born and clean your bathroom for a year.
