Comment on Is there no good inexpensive CAD software?

The problem is that Parametric CAD kernels are complicated and expensive. There are some recent open source efforts but they are slow going. Just look at how bad Freecad is after all these years to see how difficult they are.
I’m quite experienced with SolidWorks and have used both Creo and NX as well. I can’t stand the likes of Freecad or Fusion because of that. Luckily I have access to the professional ones for my day to day modelling.
One option to look at is Solid Edge, they have a maker version that is free and it’s a proper professional package many companies use.
