Creating Graphics for a Textbook
Creating Graphics for a Textbook
(OP)
I am looking to create graphics for an engineering textbook. Most of the graphics will be simple 2D, but there will be a handful of 3D graphics as well.
I was thinking solidworks might be a good choice since I believe it is the most cost effective of the higher end solid modelers.
But that may also be overkill for the requirements. Would there be any other good options? I am also considering something as simple as Autocad for this and maybe SW is not really needed (and just skip the 3D graphics or outsource those). Just looking to hear some thoughts.

I also have used Inkscape and frankly I was thinking that would not be good enough for the 2D drawings. But now you have me wondering, why not (or Adobe Illustrator). I will play around with that approach further and see how it goes.
