Hi all

I need to put the location of electrical accessories on to a cad format drawing sent to me by my builder.
What's the best straight forward and affordable software.

Autocad I'm guessing is best but expensive.

Pre thanks all
 
Auto Cad only way...If your stuck I can convert to WMF (for word) of PDF if this would help.
 
QCAD hasnt been mentioned.
I run it here on Linux - excellent, as with all CAD programs, it isnt easy to use at first, but when you get the idea behind it, it is great.
£25ish.
Reads and writes to most CAD formats, and keeps the formatting correct. It has a good user support, with bug fixes fixed quickly - the beauty of open source.
