Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] CAD packages

[Laurent ROUFFIGNAC <laurent_rouffignac@yahoo.com>]

Hi all,
I'm currently using SolidWorks 2000/2001. It's a 3D
drawing software much easy to learn (on my opinion)
than Autocad or ProE. Just by following the examples,
I was able to create my first basic volumes in a few
minutes. It's also integrating a lot of functions like
volume/partial volume autocalculation, gravity center
position, weight calculation...
You can find some info on their website:
