I also need to be able to easily show the dimensions and (x,y) locations of everything. I know I'm probably not being very clear... I'll try to upload a hand drawn example when I get home. Does anyone know of a decent, free program to do this?
I'm just sick of spending an hour doing this every week with a calculator and a ruler. And did I mention it needs to be free?
I'll attach a couple examples from my notes until i can upload a good one. Basically I need to combine all three of these into one drawing. (The 3rd is 3D, but I just need to show that stuff in 2D)
