System Design Software

We're looking for sofware that can import construction plans (in different formats) and allow us to "mark them up" with preloaded symbols of the fire alarm, security, home theater, and... devices. Anyone aware of CAD -like software designed for this purpose?

Thanks,

Mike

If someone is going to bless you with CAD drawings for a given project ask them to port out a .dxf file. .dxf stands for Drawing eXchange File. You may need to play with it a bit to meet your needs. I personally request a .dxf in AutoCAD v.11 or v.12. It seems to work better with my software.

I like using TurboCad. I've only recently upgraded to version 15. As for "preloaded symbols", I've made a bunch of my own that works well.

What? People tear off a symbol instead of a number for next in line? :o}
