    I was a mechanical engineering student and will be graduating less than 2 years. I see software prices around $ 5,000 :eek:. the price is very even for a student like me. is there any information or ideas on how I can use the software on a small budget?

    If it's just for college work you can register with AutoDesk and download a student version of AutoCad at http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=download_center . That version has a watermark on it to stop people using it professionally.
