Here’s my Plan. I’ve been wanting to learn a draftining program for my remodeling business. I have a potential future client who wants to do a small simple addition and will be needing plans. So I was thinking that if I got the job I could justify buying SoftPlan Lite and learn it well enough in a day of two to do the drawings. In other words, no one has to know that I winging it as long as I can deliver the goods. I played with the demo and it looks pretty simple. Am I fooling myself? Anyone have any experience learning this?

it depends...
I bought SP v 9 way back when...
and I was designing a kitchen a week later
but I still haven't master everything that can be done with it, tho I don't have lite version.
I taught myself SP Lite using the manuals they send with the program. I'm thinking it took me about 10 days, working in the evenings when I could. But I was competing with kids and a spouse for one computer.
If you're drawing something and get stuck, yu can alwaysn pull the manual and find the chapter on what you're working on. Or post on their online forum called "Sofplan Splash". You'll find people there who are just as helpful as those here on BT.
