Best software for creating blueprints?

NaveenM

OK, I realize I've stumbled into a professional forum and that is certainly something I am not. So if I'm in the wrong place (over my head) I apologize (just let me know!).

I'm looking for a software which will create blueprints for home design. Something that might be a level above an amateur but perhaps not with as steep a learning curve as an expensive suite (like AutoCAD).

Is there anything like that?

I'm a designer by trade (TV graphics and web) with an art school background, so I am familiar with computer graphics. But I'm not an architect. This is more about fun / experimenting.

Thanks!

try google Sketchup Pro.  You can download a trial for free online.  And it comes with Sketchup Layout, which is the program you want for making 2D drawings.  It's pretty basic.

good luck!
