I am looking for a very simple downloadable program that allows me to create simple 2D designs of mechanical parts. One that let's me quickly create links/ pivots and move them to simulate movement. Almost like a Google Sketchup but for engineering and even simpler. I am not looking for a game with some sort of objective...just a testing program.

Thanks

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
