[Design and Technology] CAD program

I can thoroughly recommend Pro Engineer. This is a free 3D package by PTC the world industry leader in 3D modelling.
To obtain the software teachers must complete a 12hr training course at a cost of approx. $300.00. On completion of the course they receive the software discs (schools edition) and each teacher is then able to authorise a site licence for 300 seats.
DATTA Vic run these courses for which I am the instructor. We will be running courses in term 3. Check with DATTA vic fro details.

Subject: [Design and Technology] CAD program


A couple of years ago, we switched from using TriCAD to Solid Edge for our Year 9 CAD elective. It was also being used by senior technology students in subjects such as Wood.  Apart from being a much superior program, the licence fee was very attractive.  This year we experienced some difficulties as the company has new owners.  They want about $6,000 for the licence next year which we can't afford. Can anyone suggest  suitable alternative CAD software which isn't so expensive?
Thanks
