Its good to see a student heading into a technical area, if you have addition questions, let 'em rip. One of our managers uses Draftsight to open drawing and yesterday he marked up a drawing and saved it. Support and documentation are free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. It took me about 2 weeks with Inventor to get to the point where I felt I could do something useful with it. LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. However budget a fair amount of time for this learning process.

The tutorials for both these packages are very throughout and you will learn a lot by working through them. In in addition these are the packages that you will most likely run in to out in the "real world". You can purchase an Educational License of LANDWorksCAD, if you are studying landscape design in a recognised institution.

If as mentioned in a post above you can get a free student version of AutoCad's Inventor, that would be a good starting point for you.īoth of these packages have tutorials that will require you to start doing 2D drafting anyway so you'll learn both 2D and 3D design. I think it does ask for a school but you. If youre not using it for business reasons you can get free student version. There are some opensource alternatives but they all seem to lack features for complete compatibility to Autocad 2d. I'd start right in with one of the 3D packages such as AutoCad Inventor or Solidworks. Draftsight and Progecad arent free but the best affordable alternatives.
