Default Computer design ideas needed

Some of you guys are computer sharp and I'd like to run something by you.

I found recently that turning to exact specs can be a real exercise versus
the usual go with the flow turning. It's fabulous for making you learn tool
control.

So, I wonder if there'd be a way to "economically" use the computer to
generate some designs and print them out to use as guides. Note the
"economially" as I know that there are programs to buy that can even
generate Lord of the Rings.

Primarily I'm thinking of flowing curves rather than complex designs.

Charlie B does a lot of CAD stuff but I'm sure he has one of the more
upscale programs.
