The packages were then rated by teachers on criteria that included cost of software and hardware needed to run it, ease of use, ease of set-up, and the availability of coordinated curriculum materials. The following packages are reviewed in this report: AutoCAD; CADKey 1.4E/CADKey 3.0; CADLab; CADVance; Generic CADD 3.0; Junior Drafter 1.2; and VersaCAD DESIGN Version 5.2.
