Hi all;
I'm looking for an affordable cad program (shareware freeware) is ok
if it has some bells and whistles. I need to draft up some stuff and
post it here for you guys to have a look at. Mostly little fixtures
and shop helpers. I have 35 years exp as tool and die maker (retired
now) and would like to help if I can.

You may want to try Pro Desktop Express. It is free but you do have
to register in order to get it working. You can find it at this link

Hi Charlie,

I haven't checked out the one recommended by Bob, but I will. In the meantime, here's one that I have been using for several years. www.dcad.com It is called DeltaCAD and I swear by it. It is very easy to learn and use. There's a 45 day free trial, then it costs $39.95. They claim to have sold more than 150,000 copies.

I've recently been using a program called Pro/Desktop Express. It's a more
limited version of ProDesktop, but it has certainly done everything I want
it to do. Available for free from <>. On the info page
for Pro/Desktop, there's a learn and try tab that has a link to the
download. You have to register (for free) and get a key. And supposedly,
after six months you have to download an update or get a new key (can't
remember which), which means that there's always the possibility that
they'll decide to stop distributing it, and your current copy won't work.
But, it really is a modern CAD package, from what I've seen. Be sure to
check out the tutorials in the help files. After trying other cad
packages, this was the first one I really liked.

Sorry if this is a repost, never saw my first reply.
I've been very happy with Pro&#92;Desktop Express from PTC
<>. Under their pages for Pro&#92;Desktop, they've got a
'Learn & Trt' tab that has a link to download the express version. It
apparently doesn't have all the features of Pro&#92;Desktop, but it certainly
meets my needs. It requires registration to get a key, and they also
mentioned either to need to re-register or re-download the program every 6
months, which could be bad if they decide to stop offering it, since your
current version would stop working. But, overall, I have been very happy
with it.

It seems there are at least a few of us who enjoy the ease of using
DeltaCad. I have been using version 5, the newest I think, for about
one year. I also have Autosketch and need to refer to the user guide
for help in almost everything I want to do. It is a nice drawing
program but unless one works with it on a daily basis, it is
complicated.

To get back on track though, my DeltaCad quit suddenly and locks up
the screen requiring the "three finger salute" to get back in
business. All else on the computer, including Autosketch worked as
always. My first thought was to reinstall the CD for DeltaCad
thinking it would overwrite the program already installed. No
improvement. After talking to myself and others for a few days I
uninstalled the DeltaCad Program and then reinstalled it and all is
fine.

If yours should quit someday maybe this will avoid some fretting.

Just joined, again and reading through the posts. Saw this one.

I think someone else mentioned it, but I reckon DeltaCAD is the best
of the budget programs around. I use it instead of AutoCAD for basic
2D drawings.

EasyCAD is pretty good, but has got a bit bloated since its DOS days.
