Simple two dimensional drawing program
Can someone direct me to a Free Simple Two Dimensional Drawing Program -- one that works the way I think.
I want to draw a plan view to scale in order to experiment with different tile patterns.
I have looked at some free programs but they are way more sophisticated than I need and understand.
I want it simple like if I were putting it on a piece of paper.
Any ideas?

I would use poster board not a PC. One poster board size and shape to scale of the room the the other features each cut out of poster board to scale. Then you can just move them around.

What I did was draw a graph on screen using Word or Excel any such word processor and scaled off off that. I also tried some free drawing programs and found them to be to restrictive or too complicated.

I think in terms of a T square, triangle and scale rule. I looked at sketchup and could not even find where to set the scale.
Maybe I am not ready for the 21st century.
Norm201 I guess I don't understand quite what you describe.

Take a look at EZBlueprint.com
I don't use it enough to get good at it but it does seem to have a shorter learning curve. The only thing easier, less functional, is Paint.

I did a quick search and found these, haven't tried them:
Create House Floor Plans Online with Free Floor Plan Software
RoomSketcher

Don't know if any of these will do what you want, but might be worth a look.

Thanks to all for the advice.
I upgraded to professional version of EXBlueprint.
They had a promotion.
It took a while to get the hang of it but It does what I want and more.

I did and tried a bunch. When I finally tried EZBlueprint it was such a relief to be able to make it work. Still a lot to learn as it has a lot of capabilities but has worked so far.
I will probably upgrade to the pro version but that will be after I get good at what i have.
