Getting into computer design, suggestions

[acdrew]

Hello everyone, I am looking to get into computer design. What I have found is that every program I have looked into is asking for a subscription of a hefty amount of money to use for one year. I am looking for something to more or less experiment with to learn on and decide if it is something I would be interested in using in the future. Is there a cost effective solution for someone looking to get their feet wet and learn on before stepping up to something like auto cad?

What do you mean "computer design? Are you talking 3D CAD like Solidworks, etc?
