Alibre CAD
(OP)
Has anyone worked with the new solids CAD package called Alibre? Their price is amazing ($495) and according to them, it will do everything that Solidworks and Inventor do, but at 1/10 the price. I'm thinking of purchasing this software so any comments/suggestions would greatly help.
Thanks,
Tony

My conclusion: there is no free (or cheap) ride when it comes to CAD systems.

I just found this link to a video available through engineering.com called "An Overview of Alibre Design" at:

Also the help is amazing. You can work "on-line" and a rep can jump in and take over, while you watch. You do need to have a decent computer. I'll admit it is not great for 2D, symbols specifically. I am still geting used to the modeling.
