For solidworks, you want to take a night class and purchase it as a student. I think this brings the cost to under $100. The other way is to have one of your kids who you are paying big dollars to send to school to purchase it for you (student edition). Otherwise the investment is very large for hobby useage.

some other free 2d design software are
Qcad
Solid Edge 2d by Siemens looks nice, it rivals Draftsight
Librecad
Gsimple is a free cad/cam program that looks pretty decent actually.. it almost looks like an old version of mastercam, you can import and export dxf files with it..
