Most of my work is now 3D with Alibre but I also need to address factory layouts and schematics and have to revert to traditional 2D programs for this. I have some difficulty switching between 2D and 3D. There is a lot out there, you just need to find the right fit for your needs and pocket book. Too bad, because Medusa was the first CAD package I learned to use and it had 3D modeling and solid interference checking 30 years ago.

Don't know the price of the full package as it does not seem to be very popular, and you have to go through the whole reseller hassle just to find out that it is probably too expensive (or they would post the price).
However, the free version of Medusa also has 2D parametric capability and might be a good choice for evaluation. The parametric capability in 2D drawing was nice. The SolidEdge free package has been a bit unstable, and did not have enough to warrant our continued use.

I wanted to know how to switch to "advanced user mode" and get rid of all the hand holding pop up windows and gaudy buttons. I got the same feeling with the SolidWorks interface after working with Alibre. After the two free training classes, you begin to appreciate its power.
Some posts complained of the interface being to simple, but I think it is more of the Fischer Price look that could be the turn off. Impressive package, but way too expensive to purchase additional capabilities. We still have some use for a 2D package, but mostly for reading AutoCAD files from Architects.Īlso, get in on the free CoCreate download and online training. CMS IntelliCAD seems to be the most affordable, but I have switched to ProgeCAD because it seem to closer to the AutoCAD interface my wife and I are used to.
I have found that ProgeCAD to be a much superior version of IntelliCAD. The SolidWorks DWG Editor is just IntelliCAD from CADopia as mentioned in an earlier post.
