>>If I remember right, Autocad is one of the pricey ones. Can anyone recommend a good, free or inexpensive CAD >>drawing program?? What drawings I do are still by hand.?
For Free (or low cost) 2D drawings, qcad? and librecad might be worth looking at.?
Note:? Its been a while since I've used either program: I had a paid version of Qcad Professional that I used for a few simple projects then didn't do any drawings for almost a decade.? By the time I needed to do a few more drawings LibreCAD was available, offered a similar interface, and was included in the linux distro I was using at the time (both work on windows as well).? Since then I've been getting into some 3D CAD design with FreeCAD, which may be worth considering as well, though its learning curve is steep.? The FreeCAD "TechDraw Workbench" is great for taking a 3D part and creating 2D drawings).
Qcad ()??? The free version is (well was back when I used it) had a good set of features.? Qcad Professional ($42 download) offers support for more formats and enhanced drawing capabilities.
LibreCAD ( ) Started as a fork of an earlier version of Qcad, so its interface is similar.? Also available for linux and windows (and OSX, I think).?
