Inexpensive = $400:

Under $100:

Autodesk has just released a new program called Freestyle which you might be interested in.

I can't say if any of these will generate a materials list though? You will just have to check them out for yourself.

I am looking for inexpensive (<$100 or even opensource) CAD software to use when I undertake home improvement projects or a furniture project or even the design of a piece of luggage.  It is important for me for the software to be able to make a list of materials needed. 

I am using win xp and 7 now and will soon have my first linux install.

Any suggestions?  I have looked at a number of free/open source options but there is nothing in the documentation that tells me that they will generate a list of materials.
