I like OpenOffice Draw for simple drawings and illustrations like you
described. It has all the flowcharting and block diagramming symbols I've
needed and the 3D basic shapes have been very handy for simple 3D mechanical
diagrams.

If I need dimensional accuracy I use a mechanical CAD program and for more
complex illustrations I use Inkscape.
