Geogebra also works. It's free and you can make good angles with it.

I'm using Asymptote now, it seems to work pretty well for this.

I'm using AutoCAD, although I think you have to buy it...I'm not sure though, my coach got it for us. ;)
Been there.
Done that.

What do you guys generally study (other than everything on the rules)? Specifically, I mean.

His location is "On an asymptote".
The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is 42.


The ultimate question itself is unknown. Can anyone actually read this?

Hmph. Yes, I get it.
What's good about all these programs that you guys are using? Like, what makes them so that they're your first choice?

I just use Asymptote because I'm comfortable with it anyway, and it works pretty well. None of these programs are really better than another, it just comes down to personal preference.

Primarily, I like to use AutoCAD because it has accurate angles and is easy to use. I can't say that it is better then any other program, however, because I haven't tried the others. ;)
