I've used TurboCAD as a hobbyist since version 1.2, and still can't get my head around the (newer) 3D part of it. As a beginner, it (or any other full-featured CAD program) is _not_ intuitive. For 2D, there was a version of V4 that was made available free as "TurboCAD Learning Edition". It is no longer available from IMSI, but there are still a few copies squirrelled away on various persons web sites. Also, copies of newer versions are available cheap on ebay. Another CAD program that is simple to use is DeltaCAD, billed as "World's easiest CAD Program" for $40: http://www.deltacad.com/ There is a free time-limited demo that you can download to try out.
