I don't want to do mechanical design myself. I have two guys who do
that, and they use Solidworks.
All I want is a viewer for various SolidWorks files and Step files and
DWGs and DXFs. Edrawings is pretty good but needs a painful
re-licensing ordeal roughly twice a week. For every computer you use
it on.
I'd rather not do CAD entry of schematics either. I have a drawing
table for schematics and guys to enter them too.
