Free personal addition of Solid Works
 

I'm not sure of all the details, but it looks like Solid Works is allowing a
personal version of their software to be used for free as long as it's not
for commercial use.

It looks like you have to renew every 90 days. Great stuff Maynard!

Changing tack a little............

I spent 20 minutes googling today to try and find a price on a single
licence commercial Solidworks package without any luck. Anyone bought it
lately? I just need a ballpark price to submit for next years budget........

We don't need piping or other extras, just the basic 3D model -- flat
drawing package.

thanks

It's about $4,000. Add about another grand if you want the sorry "free"
upgrades.

In my opinion, a somewhat lame response to Alibre's
free Design Xpress.
