Has anyone used Google SketchUp?  A friend, artist by training and instinct, 
has used a lot and thinks it is great.
I have FastCAD7.  Decided it was the best drawing program I could find for 
the money, $150.00, I believe was what I paid couple of years ago.  It has a 
lot of capability though not the most user friendly thing I could find.  Some 
of the processes are supposed to be easier to use (and might be for a 
beginner) but are different than standard drafting procedure and takes some 
rethinking.  
I wish I could find someone else with that program that I might trade ideas 
with.
