If you know AutoCad then this might be a nice choice (only
for 2D drawings. If you need 3d then Sketchup is one of
the easier ones to learn):

If you're able to use a real CAD program, LibreCAD is good one. It's
not in portage but in the "science" overlay.

I saw FreeCAD demo'd at a local makerspace meeting. It looks like a good
place to go for people accustomed to AutoCAD. The guy demoing it uses it
to hand-digitize steam engine blueprints as a hobby. (And he's a Gentoo
user, albeit not on any of the lists or IRC channel, AFAIK)

For my 3D modelling needs, I've been using OpenSCAD...but that's very
much out of the way if you're looking to do floorplans.

DIA is a PITA if you're looking for Visio-like ease-of-use...but it's
the closest thing to Visio there is on Linux, AFAIK.

I have tried to use Google Sketchup in the past, with little success, but I
didn't persist as I should, I guess. Don't know if it is in portage, though.

If 2D drawing is enough, OpenOffice / LibreOffice have a vector drawing
program, and Inkscape is just about it.

For a big shot, Blender is a 3D suite, but complex enough to scare a bit.

Good luck
Francisco

	My two cents on dia: ugly, klunky, non intuitive, simple tasks are 
nearly, if not totally impossible to perform. I teach 1st year
