If you install ubuntu linux, qcad is free.

Ugg..

I work in AutoCAD all day so these stripped down basic drafting software become very difficult to use.

But my best recomendation is work on paper when first starting out, it will help you later on…

Have you tried Sketch UP? I’ve heard great things from my friends that do CAD, I think it might be for 3D though.

my favorite tools:

lines => draw parallels – this allows you to draw lines that are offset a certain distance from anything. super useful

edit -> trim / extend – this allows you to trim two lines to meet together. if they arent already intersecting, it extends them too meet. also super useful.

edit -> bevel / round – this allows you to round and/or bevel lines you just intersected with the trim/extend commands. you can make pretty rounded corners with this. so laser 2.0!
