Why should everyone have CAD software installed on their computer?
Well, this question may sound very uncommon yet it is necessary for us
to consider this option.
But let me explain my previous
statement a little bit further. It can be easily accepted that anyone
who owns or operates a PC in their household or at work most probably
they will have some sort of Office application installed on that very
PC. This package of application is often used for occasional
letter/article typing but nothing more.
Altogether, majority
of these office-related applications are left unused and doing nothing
but using up precious space from the hard drive.
However;
should anyone asks about good drafting software or just ask anyone to
help to draft up a wooden desk most probably an everyday user would be
out of answers. The shiny office pack can create bubbling
presentations, may also calculate heat dispersion in a steel plate but
not give us any opportunities to improve our drafting ability.
Let us ask the most crucial question again: Do everyone need to have a
CAD on their computer? Or let us go even deeper into this subject and
ask: Should an operation system come with a simple, in-built CAD
application? Would this help the average Jane and Joe to gain better
confidence on working with drawings, drafting up simple elements and
objects?
We believe that by incorporating a free CAD
application will eventually improve the general drafting skill of the
everyday user and perhaps many people would get more confidence and
perhaps get involved in science and engineering along their career
path. Altogether, we don't talk about here full versions of AutoCAD or
Microstation but a basic 2D CAD tool.
A few more megabytes of
sacrifice by the ever increasing operation systems may change many
people's future. Shouldn't we just let them have their chances to
improve their life and gain more career prospects in the future?!

As far as I know the latest Autocad LT is around $1000, but it is easy to find free 2d cad products on the net, just google "free cad" and there will be plenty of choices
