Freeware Graphics program suggestions
« on: Aug 26, 2008, 03:30 pm »
I'm looking for a fairly decent freeware graphics program to assist in creating diagrams for the props run crew for my current production.  Does anyone have any suggestions or anything that works well for such applications?

I'm looking for something better than Word or Paint on a Windows based PC, but it does have to be PC compatible.

Thanks!

If it doesn't have to be EXACT props, you can use google sketch up. Learning to use layers and the slideshow function is very easy.

  i love this program.  it works on mac and PC.    also on sketchup pro (paid version) you can import .DWG file from Set Designer if they save to that specific file format. you can open up in Sketchup.
