Fastener Drawing Software
Fastener Drawing Software
(OP)
Does anyone know of a low cost, easy to use drawing software for fasteners? Looking to make simple drawings for screws, nuts, bolts, studs, etc. I am hoping there is software out there that already has the fasteners with the various head styles, etc that is simple to use.

I tried Unbrako, but found I need Autocad in order to run their download and I do not have any cad programs.

Qcad is free software. http://www.qcad.org.
What are you going to do with the fastener drawings once you have them? This will affect your choice of CAD software.
RE: Fastener Drawing Software
I checked the Qcad and only a trial for 15 minutes is free. They do have some fasteners in their library, but not many and most are metric.
As for use, we would basically just be printing (and scanning)them and providing them to a customer and/or supplier when needed. Nothing fancy, just basic dimensions with a few tolerances to show.

Free or inexpensive stuff... though you sometimes get what you pay for.

I agree - but still new in box with cellophane wrapping?? Hard to believe that was illegal or stolen - BUT stranger things have happened when it comes to computers and/or software. BUYER BEWARE!!

When it expires, they will call.
Sales resistance will bring the asking price down, a lot.
