Good and simple drawing software

[Guest Mr Billy]

Hi ther,

I often have to draw laboratory setups, diagrams, physical situations (inclined plan, ballistics, optics...)... I use paint but I am really getting fed up. I find it hard to do anything that looks decent. My friend has suggested to do my drawing, diagrams... using Powerpoint. Since I haven't used this program in over 7 years, I wanted to get other opinions before I start working with it.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mr. Billy

Paint, or any bitmap editor would be a pain to use. It sounds like you need vector graphic software. I use CorelDraw.
