Any suggestions for some sort of CAD system to draw a plan?
How many tents in total? I think I'd print the map at the right scale to use Monopoly houses as tents, they are available on ebay etc. for 10-15p each, or this Lego brick which is 5p. Learning CAD for this one thing doesn't seem like a bargain.

Fusion360 is free for a personal non-commercial licence, easy to drive and fully parametric so if you're patterning objects it's easy to go back and change without having to reposition dozens of individual entities. Several users on here so you might get some help.

I'm trying to visualise how to fill a field with tents for ~700 people. Any suggestions for some sort of CAD system to draw a plan? Ideally free or free trial.
I can get the dimensions of the field from maps. I've got some assumptions about a typical tent size and some rules about how the tents are arranged (minimum distance between tents, 7 groups, each a two ring semi-circle etc). Also some ancillary equipment.
