> Hey guys,

> Nothing fancy...but it has to have some sort of drag and snap-to

> rectangles with various holes in them, and the occasional circle
> offset from a center bore (i.e. cam).
>
> I don't care about no 3D.

> I tried one, but after half an hour of trying to get a larger circle
> placed 5 mm from the center of my first, smaller circle, I gave up and
> deleted the $∗#@!! thing.

> I'm sure it's a fine program, but I couldn't make heads nor tails of
> it. It was called CadStdLite, but it was too lite for my brain!!

> Other suggestions?
