Don't forget the amazing open source FreeCAD!!!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 days ago

I like to mention LibreCAD as well.

While it's developed by an international team, it's free and open source and from first hand experience excelent for 2D drawing e.g. floor plans - we didn't have an accurate one for our appartment before.

OpenSCAD is different but also awesome: https://openscad.org/

Shouldn't SolidWorks be on the list, because it's from Dassault Systems?

Is Siemens NX not European?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yes, SolidEdge also!

Anyone have experience with any of these?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Sadly not. But I‘m fine with the new Freecad release but it is always good to know some options.

I used CATIA professionally. It's a beast.

I was working on machining parts for the aircraft engines that powers most Airbus and Boeing and we were using Catia for the design and machining of the engines.

I thought AutoCAD was expensive…
