I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a free planning app/programme ? Windows or Android.
I'm not referring to a project management type suite. No desire for dates & deadlines. I just want to create diagrams for some woodworking projects that I may, or may not knowing me, get around to making.
Attempts to just draw plans out with pen & paper haven't worked out too well. The drawing gets covered with multiple notes as I realise as I go along that I need to change this and that, until it's almost unreadable, and it isn't clear which notes are old/defunct/superceded and what is current.
I need something that is dead easy to modify, move edges, lengthen this or that, and ideally works in both imperial & metric.
Any suggestions welcomed; thanks.

Less luckily it soon becomes clear that it's awkward and a pain. Sorry. Instead of drawing lines like a draughtsman would, to be enhanced later when the thing's been fully designed, it starts by the user having to select material in the sizes it defines, and then putting those items together.
I'm presently looking at the designhill website, but I'm getting tired so I may continue tomorrow.
As for Word, I've not got that on the tablet, but I will have an old version running on my PC back at my place, so I shall look at what it can do when I'm next there; thanks.
Thanks. I'll take a look. Have rejected previous, most had similar issues to Crafty Amigo in that you needed to start with objects, not just draw lines, one looked good until I realised the only free bit about it was the free trial. Most wanted you to register even before you could try it. Many didn't even tell you what OS you needed, although a few didn't need you to download, but they did need the browser to run Java. Maybe freecad will be different.
Draft it Free gets good reviews:

It's obviously got its limitations when compared to the full commercial versions

but it might well be good enough for your fairly basic needs.
