I'm using Windows 7 for CAD. I now use Solid Edge, I used to do AUTOCad and I think I'm headed for Pro/E.

I'd like to use anything but Windows, but guess how plentiful are my options to use CAD on other systems? Nonexistent.

The economic niche of CAD systems would have room for good CAD running on Linux. The bounty is good. At the moment it's practically impossible to get a serious CAD legally for no less than 2000$/copy.

I'm guessing that the 3D printing scene is held back by modeling prices. It's actually more expensive to model than to actually get that model printed.

I feel like I'm saying "Carthago delenda est", but I strongly feel that this should be addressed.
