I am also going to look at LibreCad, I suppose - I am not necessarily wedded to DraftSight (particularly if they are going to remove my install and make me go through this now and again) - I just need a useable 2D system for making accurate drawings I can build from. the easier to use, the better (I have been using Visio for years) I will have a few hours tonight to maybe do a little more - Friday may be better play time though.
