Which Program for Drawing Statics & Dynamics Mechanicals and Setting Dimensions?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on software options for drawing statics and dynamics mechanical diagrams. Users mention QuickCAD and AutoSketch as affordable CAD tools, noting their ability to create various designs, albeit slowly. Inspiration can be drawn from resources like the Physics Mechanics Clip Art Maker and various LaTeX tools. Adobe Illustrator and MATLAB are suggested for high-quality graphics in academic texts, with a recommendation to explore existing diagrams for software clues. The conversation highlights the need for clarity on whether the focus is on accurate physical representation or visually appealing 3D artwork.

TL;DR
I want draw Statics And Dynamics mechanical same this color and font and all i ask about software
Wich The Program (Software) Using To Draw Statics And Dynamics Mechanichal Same This 100% When Create This below Which Program Using ?

And set Dimensions
Thanks For All

I use a cheap little CAD package called QuickCAD, put out long ago by AutoCAD. It is a rather slow process, but I can draw anything I want with it.

It's a little less powerful than AutoCAD but I've been using AutoSketch for windows for years.

I did a Google Images search for drawing diagrams for statics problems and got many similar images to what you posted. I would click into some of those sources of images to see if you can tell what drawing package they used.

For example, you could try sending an e-mail to these folks to see if they will tell you what drawing tools they use:

Be aware that a lot of these types of drawings were done a while ago, and may have been hand-drawn. It sounds like you would like to find a modern equivalent to obtain the same type of look...
 
This text http://ruina.tam.cornell.edu/Book/ (on page iv.)
suggests that they used Adobe Illustrator and MATLAB for their graphics.

I would guess that most of the graphics produced in these kinds of texts are done with Illustrator,
and done by someone with some technical skill. As others suggested, maybe a CAD program could be used.
As I suggested above, someone might have put together a "free" package that could be used to make these images to convey the physical principles.

It's not clear if your emphasis is
physical content [possibly with physically correct proportions, which requires a computation]
or 3D-realistic artwork (with shading etc...).
