[Boatanchors] CAD software for creating boatanchor schematics

[Paul Kraemer]

Ernie
I have been using DesignCad by Upperspace in Pryor Oklahoma in my business 
since early 1980's
I highly recommend it. It is low cost and fully functional. Much easier than 
AutoCad but the drawings can be exchanged between the two products which 
pretty much says it all in industrial applications
I think you can get a free download to try
Everything you have requested is very easy to do after a very brief initial 
learning by doing process.
I could not operate this business without such a drawing program.
I also use it to make graphic design for panel layouts
