I used  Google Sketchup  (http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/download/index.html) to draw out my micro arcade. The basic is free it may not be the best free designing software but its an option.

I also use SketchUp.
Before you install it, I suggest watching this intro video to see if SketchUp suits your needs:

Ditto Sketchup.  Easy to use and free to boot.

I will also tip my hat to Sketchup.  Works for what you are asking for and again free!

Ended up using Techsoft 2D V2 software, exactly what I needed with out too much of a learning curve.
