Alibre CAD was $97 unsupported last time I looked, or £89 from the UK distributor. But when I looked again yesterday the US price was $197 with 1 year support and included and no sign of an option to skip the support. So I bought the UK version. (As my work IP address looks to be in the US (19.X.X.X) I could probably have bought online from the US) The reason I bought in a hurry was that currently Alibre comes with the Autodesk Inventor and Solidworks import/export options included, but as of 1st April this will no longer be the case. I have used Alibre CAM in "demo mode" and it looks like it integrates well with the CAD, but I have had a lot more success using SheetCAM for my 2.5D stuff. As has been pointed out, none are free or Linux native, but I run them all in VMWare on my Mac anyway. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
