CAD program?
I need to do some interior and exterior work and want to fool around with designs on my own. Can anyone recommend an inexpensive CAD program?

Neato. Great info! Times like this I love Forum. This is what it’s supposed to be.
Sketchup is not only great for proper drawings but in the 3d mode you get to move through the space you have drawn (save it as a movie!!) and look at it from lots of different angles. Makes it much easier to understand how a remodelled space or a kitchen for e.g. will work. Best of all its free. And i can find no discernable difference between sketch up 6 (which is the free one) and sketch up pro (which costs $495). Perhaps an architect might fnd shortcomings in the free version, but for just loose planning (and some idel dreaming) its perfect.
Second vote for SketchUp – if you just want to visualize some basic layouts (including lighting and materials) SketchUp works fine and you can’t beat the price.
you can get sketchup for free: its from google, and very intuitive easy to use
