![]() ![]() doublecad might offer some more of the advanced features that current autocad lt has and it also has a $500 version that is supposed to have as many or more features than autocad lt, whereas draftsight and solid edge 2d are a bit more basic and do not offer upgraded versions at a cost. having said that doublecad and solid edge 2d seemed very competent for 2d drafting. i ended up sticking with draftsight b/c for me, it felt the most like old autocad, especially the short-cut commands, with which i am very fast and efficient. When i first tried out draftsight, i also tried doublecad by the maker of turbocad b/c it is also a free autocad clone, as well as siemens' free solid edge 2d app, which is also an autocad clone. Here is the link for the place on the rhino website where it tells you that academic versions are unrestricted commercial versions: Īnd with respect to other free cad programs you may want to try, here is some additional information So if you got the academic version of rhino plus a free drafting tool like draftsight, you'd only be out $140 and have pretty robust, powerful capabilities. great company, great people, great community. it has enough drafting features that it is possible to draft and annotate in it, but i do not think the annotation or plotting is even as complete as the autocad clones, so i'm not as thrilled with it for 2d documentation, though they are improving this. i learned it about a year and a half ago and it quickly became my go-to modeling app, and i've done some drafting in it, as well. ![]() so you could probably move to rhino very cheaply, and its interface and commands are enough like autocad that it is surprisingly easy to pick up. * Animate 3D standard views as well as 2D drawing views.Oh, i almost forgot, donna, that as an educator, you can buy rhino from novedge for about $140 and all academic versions of the software may be used commercially without restrictions. * Interrogate designs and collaborate with precision using Measure, MarkUp and Section functionality * Zoom, pan and rotate your 2D or 3D CAD data * Open 3D (EASM, EPRT, SLDASM, SLDPRT, IGES, IGS, JT, STEP, STP, IFC), 2D (EDRW, SLDDRW, DWG, DXF) and associated files from: email attachments, cloud storage services (Dropbox™, SkyDrive®, Google Drive, YouSendIt®, and others), web and FTP sites, network drives * Intuitive and easy-to-use user interface With dynamic sectioning collaborators can see any internal or external view of the design they require and mark-up enables them to give precise and contextual feedback. You can load and send files via email to collaborate more effectively with everyone involved in product development, including people who are not regular CAD software users to interpret and understand 2D and 3D designs.ĮDrawings enables 2D & 3D product evaluation and collaboration through the MarkUp, Measure and Section tools. eDrawings is an email-enabled communication tool that dramatically eases the sharing of product design information. eDrawings Viewer enables anyone to quickly and easily view, print and review native eDrawings and SOLIDWORKS files in addition to AutoCAD DWG and DXF files. ![]() EDrawings Viewer is the only CAD viewer for Mac which delivers a premier 3D viewing experience for non CAD professionals. ![]()
