Last time I checked it was $20,000. Real nice and I would love to
be able to afford it.

We were quoted a price of $4000 for SolidWorks about 5 months ago by
a firm called Morningstar software in Charlotte, NC. They demoed it for
us & we all drooled. ;-) But did't get it because we weren't really
doing any design work... just cnc programming.

Price has come way down. Anvil is also a good program.
John Lynch at the Santa Paula Skunk Works has both.

BTW The other thing John has is a 4' by 8' by 4' 3D
high speed NC router he built. Currently it is contouring
3/4 thick windshields for T33's. He contours all LSE (Klaus
Savier) carbon/wood props as well as the odd male mold for
experimentals.

BTW Rich are you interested in doing some Wiggins couplings?
