I have used xfig and qcad. Qcad is definitely more complicated to use, it is handled similarly to autocad, but, like autocad, it allows to do precise 2D drawings. Basically qcad is a simplified 2D autocad. I don't think, at least i am not able to do similar precise things with xfig, which, on the other hand is convenient to insert schematic drawings into Latex stuff. Since both are available for free, the OP can try both and see what he prefers for his job. -- Michel TALON
