I have used Qcad for very simple purposes without any real computer based cad
experience. I found it easy enough after a while.
Printing is a problem, thicker lines do not render properly in generated pdf
files. ie Print to File (.ps) then use ps2pdf. Possibly the prpblem is the
conversion program, I did not investigate the it in any depth.
I believe you can import the native qcad files into Dia, maybe they print
better out of there.
Also, the file format is Autocad compatible iirc.
