    EASY, baby-steps, BEGINNER CAD Software?

    Does it even exist?
    I'm ready to pull my hair out, and jump off a bridge.
    I've downloaded, and tried several 'Free Trial' CAD softwares, and it drives me nuts.
    Most have WAAAYY too many bells & whistles for a beginner.
    I'm at my wits end.
    Is there a SIMPLE, EASY, CAD program for BEGINNERS to start using and learn the basics from?
    Hell, Windows Paint is easier to use, and faster than the 'Free Trials' I've downloaded.
    I just want to make 2D drawings, save files in DXF or DWG format, and make paper prints for the shop floor.
    HELP!!!!!

    TurboCad, get a version that comes with a book. Should be $15-$35

    How about Draftsight, a free AutoCAD clone.
