Or you could save the $39.95 (Maybe buy a new slingshot) and get Qcad (http://www.qcad.org/qcad.html) for free. It's good enough for us non-professionals.

Oops! My bad. I downloaded free QCad (Community Edition) less than 2 months ago. Reading further, I found out that it works only with Unix/Linux. My apologies.
I'm spoiled, I use Solid Works. It's cool to use the Photo Works mod and make photo realistic pics of your design. Yes those pics are not real photos, they are from cad drawings!
That's absolutely ridiculous. Never, ever, ever on God's green earth will I pay that, even if I could afford it, it's matter of principle. You can keep your outrageously priced programs and I'll just eyeball it for free. Sure I'll get it wrong sometimes, but I didn't spend $5000. And updates$$$$$? You're smoking rocks, bud. I do believe you have found the exception to the rule of doing it right the first time. At least you get to use the program for free!

We build precision measuring machines that measure down to sub nanometer range and sell for $100,000-$1,000,000. Out customers are high-tech semiconductor manufactures that need this equipment. YOU CAN'T EYEBALL IT AND YOU CAN'T GET IT WRONG SOMETIMES! If you get it wrong, then MILLIONS of dollars of product can be scrap. We make a machine that inspects 300mm semiconductor wafers. Each wafer is worth $20,000 (they can be more). It inspects about 100 wafers a day. $5,000 is a drop in a bucket. It's not a matter of principle, it economy's of scale.
I like Inkscape, Watch Hrawk's Youtube Video for a quick tut on how to use it and check out the shared design sections for some of my posted work using this program.
i use draftsight, it is free and i find it very easy to use.
