Don't spend the money. If you want to try CAD then try FreeCAD which is also no charge. However be warned - here's a world of confusion waiting for you with these options!

They are after all trying to make a profit, and if that means they shave some corners then I'm generally...

I agree with iDig3DPrinting, you won't get a lot for 300 bucks. However that's not terribly important if you are dipping your toe in the water.
