<div>This looks like a good, free, software set.  It has all the basic stuff and can be upgraded for money if you like.  It also does not expire.</div><div>
</div><div> I have not used it myself...  I have AutoCAD 2012.</div><div>

DraftSight 2D is a good free CAD program and it works remarkably similar to AutoCAD.

I work for a software company.

free software CAD or otherwise is worth what you paid for and the support you will get will be next to non-existant.

I use the hobby version of Alibre Design

Google SketchUp has a free version available online

Tools are a bit simple, but very easy to use. Great for 3D work. Tutorial videos online.


List some pictures of the type of drawing you want to create and we can better recommend the correct software
