@eugenialoli I'm still on the hunt for a technical illustration package, something between FreeCAD and Inkscape. There's a $1300 Corel Draw suite that looks like what I need but nobody has that kind of money. The big problem is that the vector drawing programs are primarily aimed at artists and the CAD programs are inflexible and painful to use (FreeCAD especially; they made some "interesting" design choices...)

@arclight @eugenialoli

Perhaps LibreCAD?

@ferne @arclight QCad that's mentioned is better than librecad. In fact, librecad is a fork of a very old version of qcad.
