SolidWorks Maker Version

[verbotenwhisky]

I looked at Alibre 6 months or so ago. The nice thing about Alibre is once you buy it, it's yours for perpetuity. There was something about it, though, that stopped me. I don't remember what it was, but there was some functionality that I didn't care for. I wish I could remember what it was.
I also donwloaded FreeCad v21. OMG. It seemed like that was an utter mess. I wish it would work for me but it at this point it just doesn't.

I will likely look at the maker version of SW and I plane to buy Bricscad Mechanical, I am leasing Alibre and it works but it isn't SW, your assessment is good though but its not bad and I could make it work. Thanks to Autodesk irritations I am not interested in Fusion 360 so there it is for me.
