: Designing images with dimensioning Are there any graphics programs that work like AutoCad or Inventor where you can draw objects and give them precise dimensions? Even better, something parametric

Are there any graphics programs that work like AutoCad or Inventor where you can draw objects and give them precise dimensions? Even better, something parametric like Inventor. I don't like lining stuff up by eye or using flaky snap grids. I'm hoping for something really extensive, and straight forward as if one was drawing simple parts (I plan on making icon vectors). Is there anything like this?

Thanks

Probably your best option is to use Illustrator w/ the CAD Tools plug-in from Hot Door:
www.hotdoor.com/cadtools
One can of course edit any object's dimensions / properties directly and numerically using the Transform Palette in Illustrator.

Macromedia FreeHand of course, allowed one to add dimension lines using PostScript programming.

Presumably you mean "free" since you have mentioned two extensive packages that do what you want.

FreeCAD is an open source parametric 3D modeler.
