Every now and then, more often for some, we want to draw something up and have it made. Here is the site for Google's FREE program for just that job drafting job.

If you have never heard of it or tried it before here it is.

sounds fun, have you downloaded it yet? is it 8 free hours once you install or open time?

 

It downloads really fast and the time is open ended with an option to upgrade to a professional program. I have downloaded it and played around with it, I should do the tutorials it has to teach you what to do. It has basic 3D capabilities as well. It can also read Autocad files as well as other files from other CAD programs. I have Autocad so I have not really done too much with it.

It is a free like their Picasa 3 photo editing program.

 

Very nice find. But I'll have to install it on my home office computer. The video reqirements are a little stiff, 512 G VRAM.

 

Picasa was a headache on my system. The forum for it states is does not move any files around or change anything. I still have things gone/moved and of all things hidden (??) I wouldn't download anything more of their stuff. I do use gmail and it's just fine. Picasa does not have any support, it's a user forum. Google give you a free program then walks on you.
