368649 2005-07-02 05:50:00 I'm trying to find a PCprogram that will allow me to sketch shapes to scale and then add colour. I make certain items and would like to sketch them first on the PC to 1. see what they are going to look like and 2. to scale and 3. add colour to see what they will look like.

Can any one suggest any thing, I would be most grateful

If you don't get anything more usefull here I suggest you have a look around on the net. Computer Aided Design seems to me what you are looking for.

If you have MS Word on your PC it will do basic stuff
If you really want 3D etc then there are dozens such as Adobe Illustrator, Sketchup, Smartdraw etc etc but they cost
A bit of time 'googling' around will produce heaps of apps
