Smart Draw is not bad, very similar to autodesk.

Currently using Autocad Lt myself and can not fault it. Obviously there is a cost involved!

I cannot recommend a free software however ElectricalOM by Modecsoft is a very good package, from designing a system, there is a cad section where you can import dwg etc and edit drawings inside the core software, also has the ability to create test certs, arc flash studies etc, they do do a free 14 day trial I believe if you are interested in trying before buying, as Pete above has already said you don’t get much for free these days that’s worth any real value.

Another vote for ElectricalOM. I use this quite a lot, although I do export to Cad to attach to drawings.

As has been said, you get what you pay for.

If you charge accordingly then the costs will be more than covered.

Free stuff is OK to cut your teeth and learning with, not everyone can drive Cad to produce acceptable drawings.
