Microstation is another drafting software, however, I believe AutoCAD is the most widely used.

Autocad is probably the most popular.  It has many versions including LT and 2006.  It's probably the most user friendly also.  One that is more advanced is called Rhino.  It uses four windows showing every dimension in different views.  There are others, but these are the most popular and user friendly

one reason reason why certain archticets are step above the rest is because they have mastered the art of drawing..its really rare to find an architect who can draw and portray their work really well.\n\nObviously, most things are done on the computer now, so you need to have a really good understanding of autocad. \n\nAbove all, you need to be original and unique in your ideas- dont be scared to be different. The best design is one that blends well with the surrounding environnment, has a unique modern streak- but can still stand the test of time..not easy!

Autocad is a 3d modeling tool.\n\nIt Design, visualize, and document your ideas clearly and efficiently with AutoCAD software from Autodesk. From conceptual design through drafting and detailing, AutoCAD 2007 enables you to explore ideas like never before. Create, edit, and develop design alternatives using realistic solids and surfaces in an updated design environment. Communicate your ideas with powerful sketch, shadow, and rendering tools, including intuitive walk-through animations. Then turn your concepts into a set of documents with the new section and flatten functionality.\n\nThe minimun requirement to get this software is to have windows 2000 or windows xp and with a space of 600 mb or more. If you got that heres the link to download it then install it.

I use AutoCAD with a pretty good symbol library of comment elements in the utility industry.  There are many other computer programs that do the job, or you can scetch or draft them yourself.\n\nAs far as the conventions and symbols used.  Get a good book or do some research on the Net.

I have a bought version of Alibre (very very good). It's not as powerful as autocad for 2d, not as powerful as soldiwords for 3D but having a free version and being very inexpensive, it's very good.\n\nAlibre Express has a 3D aspect, which can be translated to the standard 2D format for layout on a template, or plain old 2D. Many export formats and easy to print a completely dimensioned drawing. Section views, detail views, mass property calculations (3d), and much more. Anyways it's the best 3D/2D for free I've seen.

I suggest you buy your own (latest) version of\nAutoCAD and take it from there.   You do not say what you want do as a freelance but if you want to set up in business there are many other aspects to be considered.   If we knew what you wish to do we might be more helpful.
