I’m in need of a CAD program with an easy aproach for someone with zero experience on this type of software.

3D printing is not a concern

I intend to draw the blueprints for my house. The building is old, no blueprints exist for it, and I intend to make renovations to it, so having blueprints to work on to plan the renovations will be a huge help.

    its the right tool for everything engineering related; you can do drafting very easily, its built-in.

    onshape may have a free tier, but piracy is better than free, due to “free” meaning that your information is the product being sold (to other vendors).

      I’ve used SolidWorks for over 20 years, it is NOT the right tool for 2D layouts. That’s what Draftsight was for, before they killed it.

      You pirate away, good luck with trojans and viruses. I’ll use Onshape.

        I’ve been pirating for a looooooong time. I’ve never once gotten viruses. stick to private trackers, and proven uploaders for software (fitgirlrepacks, solidsquad, etc) and you won’t get viruses.
