Hi.

I'm in the same boat as you. Worked for years in AutoCAD, programmed in AutoLISP and ActiveX. Am retired now and the cost of AutoCAD is simply too steep to have for small projects in my retirement. After looking around at other open source cad packages I settled on LibreCAD too. 99% of my AutoCAD skills were 2D so LibreCAD seems to fit the bill.

I just got started on my first project in LC this week and things are going pretty well. There a few ACAD features that I miss (like the PERP osnap) but I'm learning the new way and things are going OK.

Let me know how you get along.
