| I am looking for easy to use plan drawing software for woodworking projects - something that I can draw cut pieces to scale, show their relationship in expanded 3d, etc.
Any suggestions? |

| I haven't used it, but I've seen impressive results from Alibre. The company offers a home/hobby version for $99. There's also Google Sketchup, which is free. |

| Thanks. I was hoping you didn't say Sketchup. That is anything but easy to use. I'll check Alibre. |
|
| The more feature there are the more complicated the SW gets to use. It is just the nature of the CAD/CAM beast. You should see the real professional level stuff like Autocad. |
|
| Maybe it's not the software; maybe I need to hire a draftsman. :) That's it. A draftsman to draw the plans, and a master carpenter to build the cabinets. Maybe I should just go to Home Depot. LOL |
