Default free 3D cad software?

IMSI now owns Designcad. They bought it a couple of years ago. According
to
users, it was a better program before they got a hold of it.

IIRC IMSI was pretty basic. I used the arrow keys to draw lines. ;~)

BTY Autodesk sent me a tacky renewal letter stating that I could upgrade to
2007 for 4 or 5 hundred dollars until next spring, subscribe for about the
same price every year or do nothing and be on my own. So much for customer
support. You would think they would support their high priced products for
more than 2 product changes.
I finally down loaded IntelliCAD as you suggested and found it to be darn
near exactly like AutoCAD LT. There are a couple of commands that I could
not find, in particular the Tracking command. Other than that my next
upgrade will probably be to IntelliCAD. Thanks again for that suggestion.
