[Josh Nieman]

yea I figured it wouldn't be worth adding CADKey either  even if I had used it in the past 3 years.

[T.Willey]

If it's worth it I will add it at the end of the day.  No problem on my part.

I forgot about SolidEdge, and I never knew about CADKey

CADKey is extinct last I heard... I only knew of a couple machining job shops that used it, and they switched to Solidworks years ago anyways.

where's cadra?

I can add that.  It looks like a real program that people might use.

[Josh Nieman]

Can you add BlockCAD to the list??   

I just sent this email out to the bosses and a the rest of the company.

Request for new CAD program

With the benefits of building in 3D to increase productivity and efficiency, as well as reducing change orders and possibility for errors, I thought maybe we should look into using this new program I was introduced to.  I looked into it, and it seems very good.  It uses standard blocks for all building members, so there is no creation of basic shapes at all needed.  If there is a shape, the program has a block for it that you can simply click and drop into place.  It requires only the most simple of skills that any child could do, really.

This is definitely something worth looking at.  On top of it all… it’s free!

Here is a page showing some of the better models this program can handle: http://web.telia.com/~u16122952/building/index.htm

The first response was one boss walking into my office "Is that lego *&$% something you would actually use... because let me know, so I can start searching for your replacement soon" 

The second response later on was the president shouting from his office "Josh, what's that Lego blockcad bull*#$%?  It's actually pretty neat, did you download it yet?"

it's pretty good at starting one to thinking about a computer catapult... but yeah, we have it (and i'm happy to tell people when asked, "no, i can't help i can barely open it")
