Re:Ultimate free CAD system

Gents,

I agree with Monte's comments below. Have been using PTC/Desktop "Express"
(the freebie version) almost everyday now for the last month or so when I
learned of it from this list. I downloaded and printed out the Help and
Tutorial groups and sat down to learn it, a little every night, say from
8:30 to 10:00. I now believe PTC/Desktop is the bee's knees to use and am
getting faster everyday.
