Freeware CAD Query

Krispie

Hi,
Doing an electronics course and basically need to draw schematics (loads of lines for circuit diagrams).
I need a CAD programe to practice at home, absolutely nothing fancy. The very basic elements of CAD, line, trim, extend, layering etc etc..
Is there any basic Freeware CAD programe I can download to my laptop that can let me do this. The student version will not download from Autodesk for some reason.
It does not have to be the most recent version or anything, as I said basic will do.
Any help welcome as not a clue what I'm doing in tutorials so can't afford to get left behind:o
Thanks in advance
Krispie

All the same 2D functions of AutoCad Lt. Should be OK for what you're trying to do.

I downloaded the student version of AutoCad 12 for free last week and it will last for 3 years, all you need is a student email and be in a valid college and autodesk will give you the programme free for 3 years, can't do better than that, http://students.autodesk.com/
