im not sure wat the difference is but im thinkin it is basically like Auto CAD, Mech Desktop and some others are exactly the same just a lil different setup on the but overall they are the same!

Go to AllExperts.com and ask Bill DeShawn. His field is Architecture where mine is Civil Engineering. I have found him to be extremely knowlegeable. The URL is below:

Don't ask Ben Franzus, that's me. I prefer AutoCad because I program in LISP. Straight out of the box, MicroStation is probably a little better, but it also costs more. With programming skills, I find it hard to beat AutoCad. I can almost make it dance as well as sing.
I belong to that forum as well as this, plus a few others as well.
