So, it doesn't offer any really useful features that AutoCAD might not? In particular, I'd like something that can be dynamic, while still maintaining the precision of AutoCAD.
I've designed much of our practice robot and it's drive train in AutoCAD 2000, in complete 3D, and we can probably use that for everything we need. But, AutoCAD lacks the ability to easily work with moving parts, like hinges or pistons and things. Or, maybe I just lack the knowledge of how to accomplish something like that.
