The plan is to do stuff for my own projects and make it pay by doing architectural drawings for general contractors (not actual design, mind, just the drawings).
i don't know if it's changed in the last few years, but solidworks wasnot real solid (ha!) for architectural drawings a few years back- a lackof architectural symbols and the like. you can download them (or createthem yourself), but it wasn't really designed for architecture and itwasn't a strength.Nashton
It's merely for computer assisted design. And from what I know, architectural design is not what it is primarily for. It is used for product design and is an integral part of their manufacturing process.

all that said, you have my curiosity piqued- is there a market for thistype of work? why wouldn't whoever is doing the design do the drawings?Nashton

Definitely. See above. I had used strata few years ago for models and artwork. Then I migrated to 3dsmax which was more comprehensive for modeling.
Plus it has capabilities that are appropriate for my own desire to design parts for my race car and for other personal projects.
