Sektchup has been sold by Google to Trimble Communications (the GPS people) http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/26/google-sells-sketchup-to-trimble-navigation/ Hopefully the free version will still be available. |

I use mainly on Linux but there is a free version for Windows that somebody has kindly compiled into an install. This can be found here http://www.himili.com/blog/downloads/qcad-for-windows-gpl-version/ I use that version to and works great for me for 2.5d stuff. I use this for my cnc drawings and the support is great to. --- End quote --- LibreCad is a fork of the open source version of QCAD. Unlike QCAD, LibreCad has the advantage of being maintained and enhanced. The Windows, Linux and Mac OSX versions can be downloaded here http://librecad.org/cms/home.html |

Qcad has always satisfied my needs so not really looked beyond this for 2d work. looking at librecad though it could probably be a better bet so i will have a look at it. The problem for me is that it is only available for a later version (11.0) of ubuntu so will need to upgrade that first as i am on lucid. It is almost identical so what i am use to is there also. Thanks for bringing that to the table friend. |

I found this a few weeks ago which I am now learning: http://www.ptc.com/products/creo-elements-direct/modeling-express/ I have printed off engineering diagrams with dimensions - it works for me. Ian |
