Chassis Design

Does anyone know of a free Chassis Design program?I had a free trial cd of AutoCad'07 but it has expired, so now I need something to take it's place.

Thanks in advance

good luck, not much is going to compare to AutoCAD if it is free.

There are tons of programs are torent sites if you are down with breakin' the law.

I couldn't help you there. As much as I know about chassis design, I have no idea how to use a CAD program.


...I know, I'm stupid.

I like to use soilidworks to design my stuff... it has a little easier IMO interface than autocad.

AutoCAD dosetn really help you with designing a chassis, it deffinentally helps you with transfering your design to paper, but the program itself wont help you or give you any pointers for designing a chassis.

a few years ago i bought a copy of AutoCAD 2005 from ebay for 50$ , i recently bought AutoCAD 2006 at the retail price, but that copy of 2005 i had from ebay allways worked for me, you may want to look into ebay...
