Would anyone happen to be using or have used Alibre Designer. I am considering a purchase due to price and features. I can't justify spending several thousand + for Solid Works or Inventor.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Wolog,
I'v used Alibre and my boss has Solid Works. Him and I are both very impressed with Alibre for what it dose for the amount you spend. It's very easy to learn I thought and I never used a solid modeling software before This.I'v used Auto Cad 13. I felt that this Alibre Was very easy.

I bought Alibre before I purchased OneCNC and never used it, I wanted a single CAD/CAM software. There is a yearly maintenance fee if you want support or updates to the software, this is offset somewhat by a very respectable user forum on Yahoo as well as others. Alibre is enjoying increasing recognition with in the CAD world and graphics I have seen are superb.

Alibre is absolutely inredible. I'm into my second week using it, and have already done a full parametric design of 30+ part assembly. It's just awesome.
I'd wait another week before making a decision.
OneCNC will be releasing something new.
