Free technical drawing software?




by Christophe » 17/08/07, 14:52

I am looking for a freeware technical drawing software in order to realize various technical diagrams (electronic thermal, construction plans, schematic diagrams ...).

Something between CorelDraw and Autocad actually.

Does kk1 know or use one?

Hello,

I am using an old version of AutoSketch (release 2.0)
It is enough for me ...
Similar to Autocad but infinitely simpler !!
Autocad type for dummies (who I am)

Thank you Obelix ... but AutoSketch seems not free, however I just received this by email:

In response to your request for a technical drawing software, here is Solid Edge 2D which is now free and very complete!

I will test: =)

Found 2 new free ones:

All types of diagrams: "Dia" http://www.framasoft.net/article1057.html

Electronic oriented: "Kicad" http://iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/kicad/

I test Dia because SolidEdge you need Xp ... and there are no free symbol libraries ... (I know I'm lazy ...)

I have not tested SolidEdge but it seems complicated to me.
Do you have feedback?

If you want to do "simple" block diagrams, forget about solidedge and take DIA, I'm doing my 1st block diagram, really nice!
