Hello!

Can you suggest me any extension of AutoCAD if I'd like to create simple schemes for railway? (I though about using AutoCAD because I guess it is the best software for this purpose. I also thought about Visio but I guess AutoCAD is better choice. And I also heard about local solution eplan.pl). Can you also suggest me any tutorials about AutoCAD for railway solutions? I need to create things like these: http://images43.fotosik.pl/171/04a4d0ce63e7f56f.jpg or http://images44.fotosik.pl/171/1793674140aa9e13.jpg

Greetings!

You could certainly produce those with any drawing package.

In fact looking at them you could even produce simple things like that using the 'Paint' program in your accessories, or even the 'draw' function in either Word or Excel and save the cost of a cad package.
But you also have to think about what you are going to be doing with the drawings; if they are for a company then that company will want them in a specific file format, which means that you will have to use a program that can save them in that format.
