Answer 3

a9cad



http://www.a9tech.com/



note that pro is not free, I've used the regular version and it does everything that autocad lt (lite) can do, which is enough for most. it takes a while to get used to the text inpit interface if you are used to the acad interface & typing in commands, but it's not too bad. good luck.
