I'm not aware of a free program that will give you the kind of performance you'll need for creating annotated, dimensioned, detailed drawings. One option might be to download a free trial of autocad or autocad lt. Just make sure you save a .dwg at the end of the trial, preferably down saved to an earlier version like 2010, and you can take that with you to whatever program you use next. Even illustrator opens .dwgs. for example. A free trial will likely limit the number of saves. Just consider that a good challenge.
