For basic design work I have used OpenOffice draw as I can group 
features just as I did in AutoCAD.  I can drag them around to place 
them where I want.  When I need to design the layout of a panel for 
equipment at work, it works well.  I don't need all the tools of AutoCAD.

If you need something more, look for QCAD or DIA.  It may be in extras.

Have fun.
