Shareware Cad Program?

Post by 4-Shipp »

I need to produce two simple engineering drawings with boarder, title and revision blocks. Is anyone aware of a simple CAD program that might be available as shareware or can be purchased cheaply?

Or, does anyone have an engineering drawing template that is compatable with office?

Many thanks,

Bruce

Bruce,

Do you have Visio with your Microsoft Office?

Bruce,

While I haven't used Open Office Draw I have never been disappointed with other OpenOffice software products. Open Office is FREE to download. Of course I think they'll take donations.

I don't know if it would do what you need but I'll bet you can make it work. Check it out.
