Want program to draw shapes.

Hi,

I'm wanting a program to draw shapes with. Triangles, pentagons, parallelograms, etc. I would like to be able to measure the length of the sides as well.

I'm wanting to do some stained glass, and the shapes would help me trace the cuts. Drawing shapes by hand is really tedious, as well as not being accurate.

Are there any programs for stuff like this that don't cost a fortune?

thanks.

 

I am not sure if these will work but they are free to download here at MG.

Sketch Up looks great, much appreciated.:wave

 

Glad to help

 

If you fancy getting really technical, or if you've got an IQ of several million, Blender is free. If I get a spare 3 or 4 years, I might have a go at learning it myself. :cry

I am still working on coloring inside the lines myself..but I am starting to get the hang of Paint.Net
