CAD Software - 03.29.2009, 12:01 AM

Any recommendations? I'd like something free to do some 2D mock-ups.

I need to be able to export to DXF?

Thanks

What do you mean 2d mock ups - for what? Do you plan on modeling anything in 3d? Tell me a little more about what you're doing and hopefully I can help.

You can export from emachineshop. Certainly not a powerful CAD, but easy to use.

DXF is a AutoDesk file type. AutoCAD LT is a basic version that is capable of 2d drawings. I don't think that you can do 3d in LT and I think it costs about $700.

you can d/l autocad on limewire, if someone were so inclined I would wager the cd keys and authorization codes would be there too.

Too bad the new AutoCAD has 2 seats per licence. I don't think that it would work.

What about the free one from google? Sketchup?

I just remembered my it teacher in 8th grade gave me a version of pro desktop. I should start using that....

sketchup is a 3d program and doesnt export to dxf, or anything other than its own file type
