Has anyone here experimented with Chief Architect for drafting projects? How does it compare to the tools you typically discuss here?

Yes ma'am, I not only experimented with it, but when I start an architectural project, it's my first stop. However since Chief isn't a true CAD program per se, after the floor plan and elevations are developed, I transfer it into AutoCAD to finish up.

It's an excellent architectural modeling tool. I've played with it a bit and didn't have any complaints except it is limited in CAD abilities.
