Advice Please Re CAD Programs (hopefully free programs)

[87County]

Hi all,

I used to have dos based generic cad for casual use but haven't used it for a few years....

Can anyone advise me on a useful basic & hopefully free program available for download

I need to do a few basic 3 view drawings and if it comes with a 3D capability then that would be great too

I've played with google sketchup for an hour or so, and maybe that's the way to go - but not what an ol' bloke like me is used to :)

any ideas appreciated

google sketchup is one that i've been looking at to get my boss drawing with cad. for a free and easy to use package I would say that is the way to go.

We use Graphisoft's Archicad here, but theyr liscencing is very strict with physical key's to activate teh software.
