"Best" freeware / open source mechanical CAD software?
I'm sure this has been asked many a time....
I'm doing some work for a company that is currently doing their mechanical dwgs using Microsoft Visio. It's slow, impractical and a *major* PITA to use. Most of the drawing are simply showing sheet metal layouts, hole locations etc. A 2d package would be ok. Has anyone found a open source or freeware package that is really usable. I've used & really like SolidWorks but the company is small and unwilling/unable to spent $100 let alone many thousands! I've found a couple BRL-Cad and FreeCad - any experience anyone? Thanks |
