@amenonsen@flipping.rocks nothing right now, but slowly getting educated on FreeCAD with the goal of switching to that. I had been using Fusion360 for 3d printing models but never used it for woodworking plans.

Sorry. I didn't know that changing a label would reset the votes. Sigh. Well, the results were already pretty indicative. Freehand sketches for the majority (77%), followed by CAD (19%), followed by nothing (5%), with 43 votes in toto. (Yes, that adds up to more than 100%, which is also what happens when you don't draw up plans properly. ;-)

@amenonsen@flipping.rocks I tried FreeCAD, but I found it to be too complicated for sketches. I don't need exact technical plans, I just need something that makes sketching (in 2D) easy but also allows measuring and resizing to measure. I haven't found anything, yet, that fits those requirements.

@amenonsen@flipping.rocks most frequently freehand sketching as well as more detailed technical drawing with fine pencil and a simple plastic drafting square in my notebook
