2nd the Visio.  Very easy to use, compared to the learning curves on some of the other CAD systems. Ray Walters Remote Solar 303 505-8760 On 6/21/20 4:00 PM, Gary Willett wrote: I've used Visio (MicroSoft) for years and it works well for 1-line and 2-line drawings. Can also export to and impor

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. On 6/18/20 7:56 PM, Eric Smiley wrote: Draftsight i

Draftsight is pretty good if you're familiar with AutoCad. The basic version is an autocad Lt clone. Eric Smiley, P.Eng. Project Manager, North Island E: e...@vecoop.ca T: 1-888-386-0116 ext 702 (toll free) C: 250-703-6004 W: viridianenergy.ca On Thu., Jun. 18, 2020, 4:14 p.m. Jamie Rennie,

LibreCAD is free open source software. Downside is you cannot import dwg files. On Mon, May 18, 2020, 3:29 PM Dana Orzel wrote: > 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 [

I have been using DraftSight. It's an AutoCAD LT clone. Handy for when clients that send me AutoCAD (dwg) files. However, they have brought out a 3D version. Eric Smiley, P.Eng. Project Manager, North Island E: e...@vecoop.ca T: 1-888-386-0116 ext 702 (toll free) C: 250-703-6004 W: virid

It's not cheap, but Trimble Layout (which comes with Sketchup Pro) is fantastic. Easy to use, templates, scrapbooks for common elements, and an inferencing engine that makes lining things up a breeze. You can import pictures, CAD drawings, PDFs and other formats to annotate. I know you don't need t

I'll throw another vote for Visio.  It has a very comprehensive electrical symbols library, and is much easier to use than AutoCad LT.  But that's just for doing 3 line diagrams, not complex parts. Ray Walters Remote Solar 303 505-8760 On 5/18/20 9:03 PM, Mac Lewis wrote: I like AutoCad Lt as
