Stumbled across this free CAD program quite by accident looking for something else ...

I downloaded it and it seems to be OK ... better than the usual freebies ...

Mmmm ......... thanks for that Darren ............. I've downloaded it and had a quick look, as you say it seems promising, I'll try spend a bit more time tomorrow .......... btw, have you found the "Offset" command yet

Darren:
It's a bit basic but I did manage to draw this with it



They are the gears from my milling machine table gearbox.

I would like to have a go at making another pair of different sizes, btw I ain't got a clue where to start?
Maybe I'll start a new thread  :)

Probably the tool I use most in 2D Autocad ........... it's very old mind .........

Draw a line ............. copy it at a <insert distance> set distance away, great for drawing cavity walls etc
