I am trying to build a prototype PSG and want to commit my design to paper before I spend a lot of time cutting and grinding so that I can avoid the more obvious errors. I have been using Visio Technical 2D software which I find easy and quick to use. I would like to use 3D software to move to the next step but have found the low-end software hard to use and lacking features that I find indispensable (like editing x, y, z dimensions and locations).
Have any of you used software that is easy to use but doesn't cost an arm and a leg? If I don't find anything, I will probably go back to Visio and 2D.
