Drawing software.

Wondering if any simple free software fits the bill. I just have an oblong in 3D that I need to add dimensions to send to someone.
Ok so I can print it and add the dims manually but I have no printer here.

I thought it would be easy in fusion 360 but nothing IS..lol

If you're just adding dims to a block without doing a pukka drawing, can you not just knock something up in PowerPoint?

What dims do you want? Paint will do it in Windows (this was done on a Chromebook)

Using what program?

Using what program?

I also use an app called "measures" to record measurements fo items I am planning to import to sketchup.

You take a photo and drag an arrow then enter measurement. Export to photos, drag to IMGUR and drop it here.

The Google photo gallery already on my phone

Not "proper" cad though are they?

I know 11 different ways to draw an arc. 2 years C&G of AutoCAD doesn't leave you! Mind I was trained in a traditional old school drawing office on the board.
