Migration from AutoCAD... learning curve

[ffrreeddeerriikk]

I am currently doing a research study on the migration to linux for an engineering firm.

I would like to know:
How long it takes for a user familiar with AutoCAD to become fully effective with QCAD?

Any of you that made the switch could tell me what was the learning curve, let me know.

If you are familiar with 'any' CAD program you will have a grasp on CAD principles already, so getting to grips with QCAD will not take too long!
