i find this to be pretty unethical IMO

i would say go for the student license buy your 14
i dont know if it applies to grade school students

I agree with this being unethical.

But instead of starting out by buying the student version, email solidworks about it instead. I was able to get a 5-month student license absolutely free. Once that wears out, I'll probably end up buying the $100 Student edition.

Its hard to find torrents for such an expensive software... and those are much different to steal than for example a game or movie.

Ive heard there are freeware versions of CAD programs... although not as good you save the bucks.

k thanks ill try emailing them

Yes, I recommend Cocreate as a place to start learning CAD. It's what I started with, and it's great for designing simple puzzles such as 3x3 mods. Probably not gonna get a teraminx out of it though.
If I'm not mistaken, Alokin uses cocreate to make his designs.

Can I download this? I'd like to get this to start designing on but I just want the personal version. To make an account I have to put in a company name. Is there anything I can do (I don't have a company )? Also, does it have to be a company that would use cocreate or can I just put my dad's company in?

Thanks,

Alex

I would have to disagree with this because it took about a minute to find a working torrent for solidworks but i have to agree with your next statement...


Try out Cocreate or another free CAD program and see if you actually like CAD then if you do consider solidworks.
