What CAD program do you use?

KeyCreator - it's the revamped CADkey, I am a machinist/CNC machinist instructor & find it both powerful & very easy to use for both solids and 2D. Not sure what the cost is, but a good software.

I use Solidworks, but I learned CAD using Alibre. It's not a bad piece of software at all, and it's very inexpensive compared to more mainstream programs. I believe it has a free version and the limitation is that your assemblies can only contain 10 parts.

I learned CAD using Unigraphics, which almost nobody uses. My last job used Solidworks, which was much much better and easier. My current job is using ProEngineer, which I like the best of all. It's harder to use, but it seems like it's more powerful once you figure out all the quirks.

I use several different CAD Programs
I have been using Autocad since 1990 along with Microstation, Solidworks, Catia and tried other various CAD programs throughout my years as a mechanical/piping systems designer.
