Solidworks
« on: May 09, 2012, 07:20:00 PM »
Anyone know of a Solidworks look-alike, clone or similar?  It's a fairly heavy-duty engineering / design package; they still want around £3K per seat for a d/load - fine for a corporate, big budget user but out of the question for an SME  noooo:

Off the top of my head the only thing that might come close would be Alibre. There is a free trial version available so you can see if it does what you need.
