Re: Ultimate free CAD system?

If you go to the PTC website [www.ptc.com], they are offering
ProEngineer "special" edition for the cost shipping (this is not
ProDesktop)... it has most of the full package features, but you have
to have the CD "in tray" to use it... it prints "DEMO" (or similar)
on the border of printed sheets, and the saved files are not readable
by other versions... it is intended for people getting back into CAD
and students... WELL worth a look...
