Hi You can get a free version DoubleCAD xt that is very similar to Autocad lite which I also have (205 version) but it will not run on my Vista pc.

also read [ame="http://www.mycncuk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=896"]drawing to g-code - MYCNCUK[/ame] number 5 from JohnS.
So you should be able to try things for nowt as they say.

I would like a newer version of Autocad lite but think I can find better things to spend £1200 on.(tools etc)
