Qcad works for basic 2D.  The version in Debian stable comes with some basic 
templates and can use dwx format.  

The question is, why do you need to CAD it?  CAD will provide you with perfect 
scale and may point out some dimensional problems, but it takes time and 
machinists can work with a good hand drawing just as well.  

What have you got in mind?  If it sounds like fun, I'd like to help.
