Cad/Dwg apps?

[L i am]

Hi guys, I am very familiar with AutoCAD by Autode$k. But I do not use it very much and do not want to pay for it. Has anybody here used a free DWG drawing application that they would be happy to recommend?

Thanks

NanoCAD free seems like a good dwg editor. I haven't used it in years but used to seem like an older clone of LT.

Nanocad looks interesting. It even has a command line. I'm still using what's basically Autocad 2000. I used to dabble with Turbocad which seemed pretty good but I used that mostly for converting files down to 2000. It's about $75-90 now. Not a subscription.

@Gus-R Oh wait. That's not a free version. $249/year.

Thanks Gus, Glen and Rich I just downloaded Nano cad and it looks like the UI is translatable.
