The program we use for doing most drawing applications is Draw Plus by
Micrografx. Besides the standard arcs, rectangles etc. it has additional
features such as arrows, measurements, fills and more.  It is 'object
oriented' so that all components can be treated individually or combined
to form library symbols.    

I've tried GEM Draw+, Generic CADD, Turbo CAD and still find Draw Plus
to be the best for presentation style drawings.
