I'm again trying to get to the point of being able to produce some 
decent product drawings for manuals and the like....

I'd really like to be able to import/use the 2D/3D cad drawings 
available from most of my suppliers in either .dwg, .dxf or .pdf to 
produce a 'real' line or possibly 3d-shaded drawings of the products, 
and then be able to show wiring options.

Of course, I'd love to just buy a copy of soldworks, but I have a hard 
time justifying the estimated $4K price tag for the product.  So I'm 
looking for something not nearly as expensive.   I'm ok with spending 
money on the right tool for the job, assuming it will really work for 
me.   I've downloaded and tried several, but they all seem to come with 
their own set of issues, and not nearly enough functionality and/or ease 
of use to make them worthwhile.

So, my question is, what tools should I be looking at to do these type 
of product diagrams?
