![]() Versions 4-8 were designed/developed to run within Windows 95-2000 and will not reliably run on modern PC's and operating systems. Is there a market out there where the older software is available for purchase? My question is, if an older version of CA 6.0 or newer is out there, what would be a fair market price? Would I be better off buying a newer BH&G version, keeping in mind I want the features mentioned above (export/build estimates by area)? Is the $500 +/- version similar enough to the 4.0 as alluded to in another post with the primary differnece being the price tag? (Unless you spring for the software going for around $500, which is a bit steep) ![]() With that being said, I've looked at the various DIY offerings available under the BH&G, and each seemed to have stripped out some of the features 4.0 had, such as exporting to DXF and partial building spreadsheet estimating. ![]() Having access to various CAD packages including AutoCAD and Solid Works, I have found I would rather not do any architectural design there for obvious reasons, but both 3.0 and 4.0 3DHA have the ability to export to DXF so I can do detailing in either of these alternate CAD platforms. I have since traced the roots of this software I've grown to love from Broderbund, back to CA after working with a builder years ago that I believe was using CA 6.0. I upgraded to 4.0 and then to 5.0 when I discovered this last version was based on something other than the familiar interface I had found so intuitive. My first exposure to CA was through 3D Home Architect 3.0 years ago.
