Does anyone know where i can legally download modeling software? I'm looking for somthing i can quickly do parts on while i'm at home, mostly for basic prototyping purposes. I know PTC had Pro/Desktop Express free a while ago, but it's been discontinued. :( Anywho, help would be greatly appreciated.

Try Autodesk Inventor.

Uhhhh... you cant download Inventor... at least legally :rolleyes:

Most free CAD programs tend to be very limited. If you search around, there are a few that people have talked about.

That's a scary thought, how can you possibly do that in Excel? I'd love to see it
