Download Google Sketchup to start. That will at least give you an idea for CAD, and there are fairly nice tutorials online as well. Good luck!

What exactly are you trying to draw? It depends as different programs are good for drawing different types of things.

Progecad has a free version for personal use. It's very similar to autocad. if you're only interested in 2D autocad or a clone such as progecad are great. I've created "fake" drawings in photoshop or publisher in a pinch but real cad software will be easier and faster. |

For drawing chassis, I am guessing you are talking about a comp style tvp chassis, then just about anything would work. Autocad SolidWorks Inventor Sketchup etc. There are lots of options...You looking to buy something or just play around for free or cheap? Most of these things cost quite a bit of money, the software I use at work cost us 7k for 1 seat. |
