Any free CAD software that someone could kindly recommend?

Hi there,
I've build by circuit onto strip board, and have got an enclosure for it. However I need to produce some accurate drawings of the finished product. (As its a college project)

Unfortunately due to many reasons and financial impactions Autocad is out of the question. Also my teacher left half way through the year and a replacement couldnt be found!

Is there any free cad software out there that anyone knows of?
Preferably 3D, and something which can produce orthographic drawings.

Much obliged,

Matt

Nope, I'll take a look into it though! Thanks

Alibre is a 3d parametric modeller. The Xpress version is free.

cumesoftware does a lot in 3D modelling. I'm not sure if the packages he uses (and develops for) are suitable for you projects, but you may be advised having a look at his site: http://www.cumesoftware.eu.org/frameset.htm and check his 3D Anim8or modelling section from the menu on the left. He runs a forum where you can ask questions about his models and the softwares. It is free to use too.

Might be worth considering.
