| Open source or free sw to replace Autocad
I think it has been asked millions of times but the software world evolves so fast I thought it was better to ask again in order to have fresh news. Is there an open source or free software which can be used to replace autocad for, at least, the simplest tasks ? Thanks Filippo |

Not sure if anyone is still reading this thread, but you can go to http://autodesk.com and download a free version of Maya. Its used for 3d graphics and animation.

I use solid works for my cnc plasma, works great but like Krawler Freak said it is a little pricey.
