For example, I could not do an array of something unless I paid for a 
full featured version of QCAD. Dimensioning was wonky as well. There 
were other things that did not work in the version I downloaded. I did 
not feel like spending a lot of time looking for a fully functional 
version that I could get for free. There were not enough really basic 
things working so that I could get a feel of whether or not it suited 
me. I don't have a problem with anybody making money for their stuff. 
What version do you use. Did you pay for it? How much? If you did not 
pay for full function, how did you get it?
