Mech Design software

[DriftZ]

OK, more software; for the interested non-pirates out there, there is a pretty cool (IMO) mechanical design package out there for free. Its a lite version of the industry suite Pro/Engineer, called Pro/Desktop Express. (the free version dont render fotorealisic nor anims but thats the only limitations; you can even write new apps for it thru its API if you want)

You can import parts from the extensive online parts library (nuts & bolts etc.), as well as other formats like dwg & dxf
