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.

Not quite sure but since I need to start somewhere I'm working on 350.
I do like the idea of building it out of Lego but I kind of want to do it this week and Lego parts orders take ages. Also PITA to arrange Lego bricks in circles unless I kragle them to paper which would be a crime.

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.
