Hi everyone.
I used 2D AutoCad for decades, I still have it but it's too old and you know the story. I think the last I used was 2005/6 version.. I was quite expert at it. programmed AutoLisp etc. I was lucky to work for myself so I could customise it how I liked.

I'm retired now but still need to draw things out from time to time, very simple things like how best to get a bunch of shapes from a sheet of plywood. or how much lino to buy to cover a bathroom and hallway. I've always found it easier to draw things out and measure them using CAD than work things out the long way - plus you get a drawing to work to.
I've had a quick read of the basic concepts in the user manual and it seems like I'd get on with LibreCad more easily than any other program I can find.
Am I right? I won't be doing anything complicated.
Thanks for reading.
