From: D. Ohl on 4 Jul 2010 01:53 I need to draw a simple mechanical diagram and wondered what's a good drawing program that can be used to draw to scale. I guess it would be nice to flip a 2-D drawing to 3-D but that would be icing on the cake. What do you recommend for simple mechanical CAD drawings?

The best mechanical CAD program to date is still MS Paint. It's simple. Free. And easy to use. Doesn't have 3D rotation though. For that, you gotta pay!

Just wondering. >> >> Yrrah >> > > Don't answer that. I worked on a CAD program for a few months and did manage to get some useful things done. However, I have looked at many other CAD progs and came to the same conclusion about all of them. If there were 10 easy ways to get something done and one hard way, the developers always took the hard way. No logic at all. Have you tried Open Office Draw?
