![]() ![]() They appear to be tightening up their restrictions as it pertains to who actually qualifies for a student license and who doesn't. BricsCAD is another alternative but is actually quite expensive as far as alternatives are concerned.Īny 'Autodesk' software (AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, etc.), usually offers a generous student licensee arrangement. Draftsight used to be free, now it has a yearly fee and isn't that great value wise. There are a lot of CAD programs that aren't AutoCAD but are similar to it. Haven't used it long enough to give a solid recommendation but I like it so far. It's NOT free but much cheaper than AutoCAD. I am currently trying out a 2D CAD alternative called GstarCAD. The type of work I do is far removed from Mechanical Engineering so I likely won't use FreeCAD or Solidworks in the foreseeable future. There are some very interesting videos on FreeCAD on YouTube. It is basically an 'inferior good' which can be used as a substitute for Solidworks (in case anyone's wondering, I'm currently studying Economics for the first time in my life and therefore applying it to nearly everything). There's actually a program called 'FreeCAD'.
