more info? I'd like to get a copy to fiddle some of my idea on. t's probably be easier to take courses and learn it, but it's not a profession, so I'd just teach myself over time.

you can buy inventor.... which is autodesk (i think that is the company's name) 3-d cad program. It's all personal preference on what you want to use for a CAD program. There are more user friendly programs then Pro E

i would keep it simple! CAD work is very time consuming and details can prolong your project way longer than the class time allows.

I took a full course on autoCAD, and have used inventor on occasion. ProE seemed the best in both interface and actual use. Never used solidworks, but I would assume its similar.

Can't do much with an autoCAD drawing cept look at it. :lol:

I like solidworks I hate using auto cad becasue i learned first on mastercam. Everything on autocad is backwards to me

Im pretty sure you can get a student version of mastercam cheap. It allows you to do most things incuding 3d drawing just wont allow you to post cnc code. Its nice to get to play around on. I may have a copy around ill look for ya
