2nd the Visio.  Very easy to use, compared to the learning curves on some of the other CAD systems.

I've used Visio (MicroSoft) for years and it works well for 1-line and 2-line drawings. Can also export to and import from AutoCad. Has great internal symbol libraries, or you can create your own.

Draftsight is pretty good if you're familiar with AutoCad. The basic version is an autocad Lt clone.

    LibreCAD is free open source software. Downside is you cannot
    import dwg files.

        Hey all you wise guys!

        I looked back in the archives & found a few recommendations
        on drawing programs. I had Design CAD-3D for 15 years and it
        was simple [2D & 3D] & worked fine. I had to upgrade recently
        as this program is now out of date and am currently
        overwhelmed with too many overly complex drawing programs.

        I need to draw boxes, lines, text, arrows, a few curves you
        know the tasks. I don’t need to do 3D rendering of parts etc.
        I also need a program that has decent tutorials.

        What are you all using that is pretty basic for 2D drawings
        on a very up-to-date PC?

        Suffering with too many options… Thanks in advance.
