For quick design, basic drawings and 3D presentations look at DesignCAD 3D Max v25 (64-bit compatible) that easily export in AutoCad format (wpg). The minus is that it is only for Windows. On the other hand is it fast and easily to learn. I used it since the first version in the 90's
Below a copy of an upgrade email send to me in 2015
From: IMSI/Design [mailto:IMSI@you.digicontent.net]
Subject: Upgrade to New DesignCAD 3D Max v25 - Now 64-bit compatible
The latest release is now available in a Windows
® 64-bit-compatible version that utilizes expanded computer memory to load, process, and render files of nearly any size. Plus, it includes STL file support for 3D printing!
New DesignCAD 3D MAX v25 is an excellent companion product with additional new file formats including SketchUp
® SKP, OBJ (commonly used for exchanging 3D models), and GIF to work with raster image data. There is also a new command to Triangulate Surfaces, helpful when converting a drawing to a different drawing format for use in another design or CAD program (OBJ, DWG, DXF, STL, SKP).
