I also use target for everything that needs cad drawing. It has front
panel/milling functions built-in so it's meant for that, but i use it for
lots of other things. Of course it's not the ideal software for many of
these things i use it for, but i have it already and know well how to use
it, so i'm probably still faster than trying to use any other CAD software
like pro engineer.
And that signal length measuring feature is damn useful too if you want to
make underfloor heating plans where the pipe runs must have a specific
length each ;-)
I'll have to make a few analog meter scales soon, previously i made that
in paint shop pro, but i'll try in target this time. It has functions for
scales with linear spacing, but i'm not sure how the nonlinear ones will
work, i guess i'll scan the pencil-marked scale again and somehow work
over that.
