Hi.

I'm currently redecorating/renovating my flat, and I've got a bit sick
of scribbling down dimensions on sheets of paper or playing around with
graph paper for hours and then losing the sheets on trips to B&Q.

I've also tried drawing room plans with a couple of graphics packages,
and it's also fiddly and prone to error.

So what I'm after is a software package designed for the task that will
allow basic measurements to be entered and churn out plans, elevations
and isometric views for printing.

Does anyone have any recommendations for something that's simple to use
and cheap (even free)? It doesn't need any abilities to insert furniture
or 3D render various wallcoverings - it's only the dimensions I really
need it for (although perhaps extra features might prove useful later,
so a package that is overkill for this task would be fine if the price
is right).

Windows XP or various Linux variants.

Thanks for your help in advance!
