I started using Google's SketchUp to try to make my plans beam from my head to the paper. It appears that this is a very much a 3D driven drawing program. Switching from AutoCad is taking some adjustment. This is not saying that SketchUp isn't good, it's just a different type of program. The absolute best thing about Google's program is that its free. It's very intuitive and the instructional videos have been described as "gold." I can't disagree.
I would not want to do professional type drawings on this program, but that is not what this is for. This is a program to draw in 3D. It is very good in the simplicity of use, but it does lack in some areas if you expect to do all the things AutoCad can.
I'll report more when I get a chance to fully test it out, but if you are looking for an easy to use and cheap solutions to putting your ideas on paper I will recommend this program
