Before parting with your money take a look at Rhino.
http://www.rhino3d.com/
Has a free downloadable demo, exports fairly pukka single and 3 angle
blueprints as well as just about any file format you can shake a stick
at, works on a low spec pc easy enough, not much of a leaning curve.
No excess cruft like "will it fit" or "will it work" or "will it be
the same version".
