    Posted: 22.Aug.2018 at 22:46
Hi all,

I'm an aspiring inventor submitting my first patent. I've reached the exciting stage where I need to create drawings and I want to use a CAD program. 

The problem is two-fold: 1) I don't have any money to invest in a CAD program 2) There are so many free options available I don't know what's the easiest/best option specifically for patent type (mostly isometric) submissions to the USPTO.

Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated... thanks!

I'd recommend the free 2D CAD program by Dassault Systemes (makers of Solidworks) called Draftsight.  There is a 32-bit and 64-bit version.  You'll also find a free getting started guide as well.
