“How about CAD programs?”

I’ve gone to Blender, which isn’t strictly CAD but in some ways is more powerful. It will do rendering, video editing and animation. Not so great on dimensioning, but doable.

Yeah, there are opensource alternatives to Autocad out there. I haven't used them myself, but I have used Blender, which is an open source 3d modeling and rendering software, and it works great. It can import/export to CAD files I believe, though it isn't strictly a CAD program.

Have you checked out Blender? It’s 100% frr... not same as CAD, but much more flexible..
