    ProgeCAD free version

    ProgeCAD LT has been discontinued and it's replacement isn't available for download, yet. Meanwhile, those of us trying to get our feet wet for free are left in the lurch.

    Is there anyone out there that saved the download file that would be willing to forward it?

    Thanks,
    Don L.

    Thanks for the link, HayTay!

    ProgeCAD is now up and running on my computer.

    Thanks for the welcome aboard, too. It's good to be here - nice group of people.

    Looks like Progecad have released their new version.

    The free one is called Progecad 2008 Smart for private non commercial use.

    Does anyone know what the limitations are for the trial version? Does it expire in some amount of time? I poked around their site and couldn't find and details on the trial version. Also, is this as good a choice as any for someone new to CAD to get their feet wet with? Thanks

    ProgeCAD Smart is virtually identical to AutoCAD in look and functionality, so for a 2D CAD package, I'd recommend it. The 3D features are not included though.

    The ProgeCAD 2008 Trial version is time limited, but i don't believe Smart is at all.

    Thanks for the info. I'm really looking to get acquainted with some 3D CAD software though. I've used some 2D for circuit board layout, but am interested in getting into CAD and CNC, possibly as a career change. Not sure how realistic that is, since I've been an Elec Engr for many years and have no mechanical background. But I am allured by it all. Thought I'd get familiar with some 3D CAD stuff first, then get a benchtop mill. Just don't want to have to spend a bunch of money on the CAD software for learning.

    Gerry,
    Thanks for the tip. That looks like a great place to start. They have some inexpensive training as well. This is just the kind of thing I was looking for.
