Hi Tracey - welcome to the forum
The laser is quite heavy, if you drop it it can be expensive so worth letting HPC take the risk

Well done
You are best off learning a cad program like Draftsight or Double CAD - both had free versions. I now use a program called BricsCad but is not free. It is very much like AutoCAD that I have used in the past.
Some like CorelDraw but personally I don't and fine most files sent to me created in CD or Adobe have incompatibilities. No doubt you can sort them out but makes for a longer learning curve if you do not already know them.
GIMP is a good program for raster files - also free.
Best
Dave
