    q cad is what all of the reprap guys use. Alibre also has a free version that does 2d and 3d quite well

    If the files created in T-FLEX student can not be opened in any other program then it is no where near the best.

    Alibre enthusiast edition has 98% of the features the full edition does and can export to almost every file type out there. There are google sketchup exporters for it and even .STL exporters. It will export to every cad format you could want and even does a little bit of rendering. It does 2D and 3D and can even export to blender for advanced rendering.

    Anyone know if Sketchup can print parts of the model as cutout parts to scale? I thought it could, but having problems finding the appropriate way to do it.
