I have a crufty old version of DesignSpark PCB.  I'll have a look at 
Mechanical.

I have a friend who does this sort of thing with BobCad, and I find

I can export in metric, but the DEC designs generally don't make much 
sense unless you're doing them in power of 2 fractions of inches.
Everything is 1/8", 1/4", etc.
