I've used Visio (MicroSoft) for years and it works well for 1-line and 2-line drawings. Can also export to and import from AutoCad. Has great internal symbol libraries, or you can create your own.

Draftsight is pretty good if you're familiar with AutoCad. The basic version is an autocad Lt clone.

LibreCAD is free open source software. Downside is you cannot import dwg files.

Hey all you wise guys!

 

I looked back in the archives & found a few recommendations on drawing programs. I had Design CAD-3D for 15 years and it was simple [2D & 3D] & worked fine. I had to upgrade recently as this program is now out of date and am currently overwhelmed with too many overly complex drawing programs.

 

I need to draw boxes, lines, text, arrows, a few curves you know the tasks. I don’t need to do 3D rendering of parts etc. I also need a program that has decent tutorials.

 

What are you all using that is pretty basic for 2D drawings on a very up-to-date PC?

 

Suffering with too many options… Thanks in advance.
