Hello,

 

I've completed a design for a reactor vessel. I want to make a sketch of this vessel using some kind of software rather than by hand. Is there any free software I may use for this purpose? I want the design to be in 2D. I have asked around and done some research and the great majority of engineers recommend , CADsolidworks, CADD and CAD. However, I do not have access to these,

 

I would appreciate being pointed into the right direction. I am not looking for extremely "sophisticated" software , rather than a simplistic, technically satisfiable visual representation of my design.

It seems to have the capabilities of older AutoCad versions

This is an online JavasScrip app that has some of Visio's capabilities. It has a good library of process engineering symbols to draw basic PFDs and P&ID's
