Actually I may be mistaken. I was thinking that there was a version 19 but I may be wrong. NX may have come right after version 18.

Guys,
I wanted to post a follow up because I failed to mention one very good software application called Ashlar-Vellum Cobalt. It is more for the designer but has superior surface manipulation than either Solidworks or Inventor. It is not the best for large enterprise situations or large assemblies but it is less expensive and best of all it is available for both Windows and Mac. It is supposedly a good solid modeler with high end surface modeling. Note: surfaces are needed to model complex shapes which are more common in end user consumer products. Machines can usually be built with few complex shapes.
For the hobbiest it could be the best choice.

faithblinded said:After all that I think this post is worthy of being sticky. I would think alot of the younger folks in the DIY community are probably future engineers etc. This thread has just become a great starting point for me to start learning this stuff, and I hope some others as well.
WEll done Hezz, thanks for taking the time to break all that down.
