Free CAD

[Yorkie]

Hi,

Thanks everyone for replying.

I tried downloading the package you kindly suggested Nick and it took 20 minutes but when I tried to install my operating system did not support it as it needed Vista SP1.

I've just managed to download your suggested package Alan; DraftSight downloaded in a minute and installed quickly although I have not had chance to play around with it.

I downloaded Solid Edge 2D fine Colin, but you need to make sure that you download either the 32 bit or 64 bit version according to your PC operating stystem. I used 32 Bit Win7 and the program runs fine - leastways, it would if it was in a competent pair of hands! It did take about 15 mins to download but it's a very large program - 1.37 GB compared to say Turbocad at 2.92MB or Draft Sight at 211 MB, which I also downloaded fine. My incompetence in the use of CAD programs is now even more diverse!

A chum designed the attached front panel for my Radio Bygone's Wobbulator using Powerpoint. I really ought to be able to do stuff like that myself but I'm a tad too far down the food chain
