that is all I have been using for the past two years and I love it.

I am trying to see if IPSC can organize an online tutorial for its use.

Storm, I'd suggest you to write an article for a next Ontario Sitrep magazine. We could post it to the web site later.

+1 The diagrams look great but it isn't the easiest program to just start using it without some help.

I haven't done an IPSC match with it yet...
I need to create correctly sized bays that match our club and figure out how to make a view of it become a PDF file (or a JPEG??) so I can have the match onfo on the header and the picture of the layout...
I've been learning to use it by making an model of my house (to the 1/4") and what it could look like with various remodels. I've found with this program little dimentional mistakes in the begining can be very annoying later... But this is how one slowly learns the program I guess.
It's an excellect program that I'm still learning, they have great tutorials online and the templates are readily available on their 3D villiage.
For a free program it rocks, as a doodler I love it.

Off the file menu pick " 3D warehouse" then "get models".

You can then search for IPSC, IDPA USPSA etc and save to your hearts content.

Set up the view you want of the stage design..........

Then off the file menu pick EXPORT. then 2D Model......

Bingo you have a jpg
