Drawing software
I need a software where I can draw plans for irrigation - air & water tubes as well as accesories. I realise there are complicated programs out there but need reccomendations on something relatively simple & easy to use.
I used the MS word drawing stuff but it's not really sufficient.
I'm setting up a humidity system next week and need to make plans for the plumber. If I can't find a software I need to draw by hand.

A bit of graph paper and pencil & ruler work very well Chris.

I find then far superior to CAD for a simple job. Nice not to have to use the computer for a change too.

I use AutoCAD Lt and Visio. Visio is not as easy to use, but it's a lot cheaper and should be OK for what you want.

Regards,

Mark
