I’m trying to find a good, low learning curve and free/cheap 2D drafting program. I’ve been using Inkscape and Coreldraw. They are fine for work on the lasers and plasmCAM. For machining they are not great because they don’t do dimension lines easily or well. They also don’t scale easily. I may draw a small part 1:1 scale and then print it out 4 times that size and I want the dimension to stay the same. Having the dimensions change if you change the size of a part would be nice too. I’ve looked a libreCAD (free) and QCAD ($40) and they seem OK. I looked at Draftsight and Delta CAD awhile a go and could not easily get started and gave up.
So, what is everyone else using? I rather go with a program popular at DMS in case of questions or problems.
