Background: We have about 1500 feet of unfinished basement that I am contemplating finishing off into a "grandma suite". Before getting serious about the project, however, I would like to play around with some layouts.
My first thought was to download the 30-day trial of AutoCAD LT. But surely there must be some software that's better suited to a casual user, and doesn't cost $1200. Right?
What are some affordable alternatives to AutoCAD for people who need to use drafting software very infrequently?

It's not 2D, but have you considered Trimble's Sketchup? It has a bit of a learning curve, but can be quite powerful. And of course it is free.
