Somebody was having trouble drawing arcs/ellipses?

Draftsight is nice enough and so basic any beginner can figure his way around just tinkering with it an afternoon.

I'd seen this person got help days ago but didn't look at the offered links and so I wondered if these, esp Draftsight would be any better help, since people on the thread were talking like the software in their links wasn't designed with arcs and ellipticals in mind, though it could be done. CAD software is built around everything-engineering, so ellipticals, arcs, fillets, rounds and radii, dashed and center lines, crosshatching and just everything 3D requires is all in one place and easy to use. And, no, I'm not getting any kickbacks, it's free.~ I just thought there might be a lot of people happening around a place like this who could use it and even sounded like some of them might be in that thread, wherever it went.
