AutoCAD® Freestyle is the simple design tool for smart ideas. The product was previously known as Project Cooper on Autodesk Labs, has now graduated as a full fledged Autodesk product now known as AutoCAD Freestyle. You can read all about the new product as well as try the product for 30 days at www.autodesk.com/autocadfreestyle The new low cost product based on AutoCAD yet designed for hobbyist and the DIY (Do It Yourself) crowd is available for purchase at the Autodesk eStore for $49 in the US and Canada at this time. AutoCAD Freestyle It’s easy-to-use, low-cost 2D drawing software ideal for creating professional-looking drawings, layouts, and plans that you can share. No Training Required.  An intuitive user interface, straightforward icons, and integrated and online learning tools make AutoCAD Freestyle easy to use. Start designing right away with a library of pre-drawn, commonly used symbols, such as kitchen appliances, trees, and shrubs. Create Accurate Drawings.  Easy-to-use tools let you draw and dimension detailed plans and layouts. Share Your Ideas.  From remodeling plans and landscape design to electrical drawing and more, easily share your ideas with clients and colleagues. When you first start AutoCAD Freestyle you get a simple option to familiarize yourself with the new interface which is simple and intuitive, watch a video, or start drawing. The interface is so very easy even a monkey, caveman, or a lawyer could use it. The cursor is a simple pencil and you just draw and dimension without worrying about commands, layers, dimension styles etc. This is for your friends designing a deck or a mancave for all the guys to hang out in.   You can import DWG files and use them as a reference as well as save your designs in DWG to share with Autodesk products like AutoCAD and Revit.   I love the smell of new technology in the morning!
