   Thanks for the link Steve.

   IMSI were offering turboCAD free a year ago, 2D version only.

   They were also offering free floorplan/kitchen design software at the time. These are the ones I use today.

   Here's the link I followed: http://www.imsisoft.com/free/

   Cheers,

   Eddie

   I have used DesignCAD 2D by Viagrafix for several years and after a short learning period it has been very program to use. I contains all of the basic features of the full blown CAD programs. I don't know if the 2D program is still avaliable at this time.

   QuickCad. Made by the Autocad people. I've

   been doing CAD since it was invented. Many

   programs available. Some are very hard to use.

   More features does not mean better. 3-D is

   exceptionally time-consuming. I have Autocad and

   a half dozen others. When I want to do a reasonably

   complex drawing at home, QuickCad is what I use.

   Its about $75. Also, think about a printer. An Epson

   1520 is the best value. Can be had for $500 and

   prints up to C size (17 x 22). Nothing else comes

   close for price/size. Also works well as a general

   inkjet printer. I've dumped a half dozen HP printers

   in the trash. The Epson is still going strong.
