What kind of framing do you want drawings for ? Roof, floor, or walls?
Be more specific about what you're trying to accomplish, and you're more likely to get helpful responses
There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 380SL.
Thanks for the advice. More specifically- I'm doing wall frame panel drawings. these walls are pre-manufactured in a workshop and sent to site to be erected, so the drawings have to be accurate and accompanied by a cuting list. I have seen a package called Timbercad which is an add-on to Autocad but this seems to only for traditional type timber frame, I'm looking for something with conventional framing.
The best wall panel software I've used came from these guys:

I've been in the truss and wall panel busines for 18 years, and have dealt with wall panels quite a bit. This program was written from the ground up to be wall panel software - It's not an add-on to autocad. These guys are awfully nice, and their software is good. It was written by these 2 guys, and they have a lot of knowledge about the wall panel business. The software can handle just about any method of panel construction you want to do. Tell 'em Ron Strohbeck refered ya. (That's my real name)

Our dog is finally housebroken. But he keeps forgetting to put the seat down.
Thanks for the info. I will try and contact the guys at Basic Automation- do you perhaps have an e-mail contact for them? would really appreciate it - i'm in South Africa so phone calls rather expensive. I am presently using a Mitek programme (Mitek2020 SA5.00) as it is a mitek truss plant that are assembling the wall panels but finding the software quite erratic- continues crashing.
Well, I finally did find a website for them at: http://intelbuildsys.com/
No email info there, though. I'll email around a bit and see if I can come up with some contact info.
Please email me at: [email protected] so I can forward whatever I find out.
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.
