I agree with Luigi, QAD plugin, with a huge development effort, provides a friendly working environment for those who come from autocad world. It only needs further testing to fix some issues, but it is a complete drafting tool, more “line” than “polygon” oriented, in the autocad way of

Right, but where is org2org? I've looked in many menu items, help, etc. to no avail. Sorry to be a bit thick but how is it accessed? Also, GRASS has v.transform and v.rectify but starting a new GRASS mapset fails with no reason given. Great tools but why are they so hard to access?
