Title: Drawing Program
Post by: firefox on June 28, 2010, 10:08:00 PM

Hi all, I need to find a simple drawing program for drawing
mechanical things. Nothing fancy like autocad.
For example, I need to draw a simple drawing depicting
the layout of a extended throttle control line in the crane truck that
I am restoring. So I can order the right kind with the appropriate
linkage controls. I am familiar with sketchup but it didn't strike me
as appropriate for this kind of task. But I could be wrong :o
Thanks for any leads,
Bruce

For quickies, I just use Windows Paint in the accessories section of Windows.

I had that on my old computer but didn't play with it. Maybe worth a try on this one. Thx.
