Iny opinions on Visio 2000? Anyone use it? I see there is some support
for it, from googling a bit.
Better alternatives?

Man, I need to be held.....


A friend runs Alibre on a not-to-fancy laptop. It will open (most) SW
files. I've never played with Alibre myself, but have only heard
praise for its bang for the buck.

IIRC, translate is no longer part of the low end 99 dollar version. That boat left the
dock last month.

I've opened a lot of fairly complex solidworks assemblies from work w/o issues using my
copy of Alibre.
