It's an affordable CAD solution that offers solid Part and Assembly modeling.
For the price it's sold at it's a bargain and I expect it to continue to get better. It sells for less than $1,000
It's got some great technology but needs an all new user interface.


DesignCAD runs about $69. It will run under WINE.
$1000 a cad system is a bit much these days.

DesignCAD doesn't come remotely close to what BricsCAD offers.

I dunno about that, jon.

Unless those assemblies can be articulated, in which case it's not
really a CAD system, but a modeling system.

And - unless we are talking about high-end _professional_ systems,
I still think $1000 is over the top for a CAD program.

By the way...
