Do you mean a sort of drawing such as layout of a bathroom, or a
manufacturing drawing of a double gate for welding?

If so, then I can happily report that Open Office Draw is suitable and
fairly simple. With the gate - overall size is about 2 meters square
of welded iron bar and tube, I was able to create a scale drawing at
about 1/16 size (for a4 printed page) and also extract dimensions to
less than a millimeter. It is being manufactured now.

*No Alan, actually it is more 'artistic' type drawing-I am attaching an
example to you- done in Open Office Draw-you will see the limitations! But
could I use this programme with a stylus, I wonder?*

Hi Caroline
I think you can certainly use freehand line draw with a mouse as pointing device, although my need was for controlled and dimensioned straight lines.

see Curves, Freeform

It is worth looking at I would say.
(example attached)
It is a lot simpler than Gimp!
