free 3D solids modeling / 2D drafting software

I can't believe I didn't think of posting this sooner, and no one else has mentioned it yet! You can download FREE software from Solid Edge for solid modeling and parametric 2D drafting. They're offering a cut-down version of their standard package for FREE, not just a demo. I haven't downloaded it myself since I already own the fullblown version, but a customer of mine downloaded it to be able to read in my work, and is already making solids and drawings. I'm not sure how much of the functionality they've left out, but I think it's similar to their fullblown version as of about a year ago. Supposedly it's much better than just a demo, since you can save your work, and there are no restrictions on file size, # of days/uses, etc. (so I hear). Check it out; it's very easy to use if you are into windows.
