Ambitious but cheaper AutoCAD alternative, with a focus on 2D CAD and support for 3D.

bambini thinks this post on DraftSight is helpfulWith DraftSight 2019 the free license has been dropped and the product is now a $99/yr subscription.- ellshad added DraftSight as alternative(s) to BeckerCAD
I use AutoCAD LT for 2D drafting at work and was looking for a free alternative.
I found DraftSight easy to get started on as many of the commands are identical - after an hour of practice I'm starting to produce useful work.
The other alternatives I tried were really hard to get started and didn't seem to have the commands I was expecting.

This isn't free any more and the Linux version was stopped.

A easy and powerful 2D CAD software!!
I couldn't indicate a better AutoCAD replacement.
If your DraftSight "ceases to run" after 12/31/19, ZWCAD is an affordable/ownable alternative.

Perfect for opening up AutoCAD files in Linux since I don't have any Windows machines at home. If I did I can't pay thousands of dollars for AutoCAD. I don't do CAD drawings personally, but on occasions when I come across one this is perfect. Looks like I can even do some editing and changes on it if I knew what I was doing.
