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.
