Free CAD Program for Students???
Before I ask this question, I should make it clear that I am aware of the free team related offerings of CAD programs. However, my computer is not able to handle the latest version of Inventor. My team is also finished with the design process for our season. I am looking for a free, or relatively inexpensive (< $50) CAD program to practice and design parts for my teams off-season activities on. I am experienced in Inventor and have dipped my big toe into Solidworks, but I can't find a near full version program I can download for free. I have considered Google Sketchup, but am unsure of its capabilities and would prefer SolidWorks or a similar program. Any guidance would be appreciated.
