    Hi all!

    I am Ivan from Yorkshire. i am not a complete newbie to cad software (that is if you count using auto cad 14 for designing electrical circuits), but i have never used any 3d cad software :) I am a electrician by trade, and i also do industrial PLC programming, as well as having dabbled with an arduino etc.

    i am quite creative, and enjoy having ago at either making things or repairing them.

    I am big into my airsoft, and i have a few (well lots) idea's for thing i would like to design and one day see made :D

    i currently don't have any cad software, and i am just looking around to find something that i think i can get to grips with easily, that doesn't cost too much. any suggestions would be greatly received!

    Many thanks in advance

    Ivan

    Hi Ivan. Someone pointed out OpenSCAD to me. It's free and really easy to use.

    Welcome from another new arrival. :) There's also FreeCad if you prefer a point-and-click interface.
