I want to draw up some designs for simple objects. In years past I would
have used paper and a drawing table, but it seems that a program is the
current way to go. What CAD program is suitable for a computer challenged
person, using a lap top, who wants to be able to:

create, save and print out on a normal ink-jet HP type printer drawings of
things like car flywheels.
email files and have other people be able to read them
post drawings of objects on a web page
be compatable with any industry standards that may exist.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Brian


Give QuickCAD from Autodesk a try, about $50. You could call it
"AutoCAD -lite". It's got a lot of features for the money, a fairly good
user interface and the best part- you can open and save in .dwg format.
