Definitely go with one of those Architect style programs. To set up and get a good result with AutoCAD would take a newbie too long.

If you want a free easy to learn and use drawing program download Open Office and use the "Draw" module. I tried it out the other day and found it very simple to use and I have used Autocad Lite, Deltacad, Publisher, Turbocad and several others and found Open Office Draw the simplest of all to use.

In Brisbane in 2006 I did an evening course with TAFE (2hrs/week) for 12 weeks at a retired (concession) cost about $30 for the course in Autodesk Inventor 8. You can buy the student later version for a cheap price too. After experiencing Corel Draw , then AutoCad 2004, and then Inventor I think Inventor takes the cake - quite easy to use, 3d, and intuitive and I have only used Inventor since. Currently using Autodesk Inventor 2008 and have no need to try anything else - I can recommend it.
