there is a program called librecad that made it easy for me to enter the
shop equipment footprints and to rearrange the layout
every time i try one of these programs the dreaded learning curve makes
me hesitant
but this program has a command line so it is super easy to create a block
for each piece of equipment and then use those blocks on the master
floor plan

now you have a rectangle and can then add text with just a couple clicks
save it to library/shop directory and librecad will see it
i probably could have done things by using scaling rather than dimensions
but that will have to wait for next time

As a blanket statement, that's not true.
Ridgid has a very limited selection of table saws, while Grizzly has numerous models, some requiring some interesting floor space.

I agree with both of those statements. ;-)

Grizzly has a workshop layout feature on their website. Includes footprints of most if not all of their power tools...

A Grizzly table saw is not likely to be too different than a Ridgid in
size. A Jet Bandsaw is likely to be almost exactly the same size as a
Delta or a Grizzly.
The tool is useful even if you don't own their tools.

I'm certain that the learning curve will be tough for him on most
anything. He can't punctuate, he probably does not have the ability to
learn.

I use Sketchup for pretty much everything. I had to try to get across
some ideas for the mechanical package for a product I'm doing at work.
We didn't have an ME assigned to the project, yet, so I made the
drawings in Sketchup, just to get the idea across.

Which is why I use Sketchup. I have better things to do than learn
yet another inconsistent software package.

own exactly one grizzly tool
but that is a good offering from them
scale cutouts work well too
