Recently I have been using Alibre Design for 3D cad work for my company's machining operation. Right now you can pick it up for $99 which is an amazing price for such a powerful tool!! Here's the link:
Inexpensive 3D CAD
I've been recently enamored with Rhino CAD for editing NURBS and other unique features that are appealing from a reverse engineering/artwork standpoint.

Well I bit the bullet and ordered it today as I figure with my recent surgical downtime I should have plenty of time to get well learned with this application. Have any of you guys worked with either of these packages before?? I'm assuming the learning curve won't be as steep as it was for me when I had to learn AutoCAD back in the day (not a fan anymore of their software especially after they just flat out discontinued their last release with minimal warning). Anyway I'd appreciate learning from your experiences...BITOG always amazes me with the vast talent base that we have here!
