Have a look at DraftSight, it's just like AutoCAD LT but it is free. Free even for commercial work. Opens and saves AutoCAD DWG files as well.
No reason to buy LT with DraftSight around.

And since it is like AutoCAD you can use this board for help and inspiration
Lots of tutorials on YouTube as well.
Good luckPlease do not PM me with CAD questions. Post your question on the forum. Our users are the best out there and you'll get the best possible answer to your question.

It did not crop up until a few posts in. I was thinking straight 2D myself in the beginning.

SketchUp is great but with the current mind set at Google they removed the import DWG from the free version 8 release. Work around you ask? Download the 7.1 Pro version and use it until it expires then down load the import DWG add-on for 7 after the pro version reverts back to the free version after the 8 hour demo is up.
Version 7.1 link

Try TURBOCAD much better price wise and fully compatable with AutoCAD.

I did see TurboCAD on ebay for quite a decent price actually, does this package do 3D or is it just 2D?
