| 1470193 | 2020-07-11 00:53:00 | I am looking for a reasonably priced CAD program. I had a shareware program many years ago, so long ago that I have forgotten its name. Then I purchased Imagineer Technical, which was very good but expensive (about $1000) while I was still working, then after updating to WinXP it stopped working. At that stage I got Vector Engineer, which has now disappeared from the market. Has anyone any suggestions? |

| 1470196 | 2020-07-11 20:47:00 | Try Here (www.autodesk.com) Pro grade program free for home use, it is as good as Solidworks or Autodesk Inventor, my son is using it to design an aircraft and for his his business but he has a tie in to the company. But he told me the paid version is no different to the free version just can't use the free one for a business application |
