Just do a three view dimensioned drawing..... You don't need a computer to do it and you don't need a computer to read it either.
Bear in mind that until the 1990's very few people used a computer for engineering at all. I still find it absolutely unnecessary unless you're talking about production runs in the hundreds or thousands.
See attached drawing. If they can't read it they're not much of an engineer anyway.

Fozzy's PDF is exactly what you need.

Thanks for the replies. I guess the problem now will be getting precise measurements. Most of the measurements will be easy enough, but I have no idea how to measure the radius of a curve, for example.
