 FAST PLANS version 7.0
an easy to use CAD program for professional house floor plan design, the unregistered shareware version may be freely distributed

 FAST PLANS 7 is an automated house layout design programme. it is very easy to use, and will produce professional quality layouts, but first you should at least try or read through the examples and help system manual.

 There are a large number of options available, some are customisable (become the default settings), while others are available in the various dialogue boxes.
 Although all functions are very easy to follow, when you select a function the GUIDE LINE at the bottom of the screen shows what action to take, and there is a comprehensive online graphic help system, including context help (F1 key) available at all times.
there are no printed manuals.

v7.0 is, as usual, a FREE upgrade to all registered purchasers - if we have not contacted you please email your registration details to us.
