I'm an architecture student and I need CAD software for Windows XP!

Bentley Microstation or Architectural desktop (Vectorworks as a last solution) cheap....i don't want to pay hundreds of pounds for it though!!!!!!

Anyone have any info or ideas?

Thanks!

Does your course provider not give you access to educational licensing on the application your are using during the course? Have you asked your course tutors?

You are looking at £££ for Microstation or Architectural Desktop

24 August 07: This just in from Paul Tracey of Avanquest: "I look after TurboCAD for the UK market and have some of last year's stock which I'm willing to let go at little more than covering my costs and postage. TurboCAD for Mac 2D at £30, 3D at £50. For the PC, TurboCAD Designer 2D £10 and TurboCAD Deluxe v12 at £30. Because of the cost of postage this can only apply to buyers in the UK. The PC versions can go direct through our on-line shop, but the Mac versions would need to come via me. Paul Tracey. Tel 01962 835 081 email ptracey@avanquest.co.uk."

Torrents.... Naughty Naughty,

If you're at Shef uni, I think you'll find they all use vectorworks and autocad
