You might be able to locate a cad lab at a local tech school where you could draw up a few things and save the file out to a dxf.
This might let you try out a few different types of software.

Thanks for the tip. I had not used any of the three icons since going through the tutorials while in Durham for training. I was trying to put a rectangle with inward radiuses and the weld could not do it (but the rectangle creation can)
SO I did not have a reason to go back and play.
The second icon (Weld selected) worked like a champ! With further playing, I can easily put together quarterboards with only 5 minutes work! (instead of an hour)...
With that comment, making a quarterboard by hand would take days! I continue to have loads of fun while being amazed as an engineer..
Many thanks to everyone!
