Question
im looking for a type of cad that i could use to draw mechanical things. what is a good type of cad to buy? where can i buy a program? i dont want to spend a whole lot of money but want an accraute and good program...any help will be apreicated.

Answer
Hi Nate,
my best bet would be AutoCAD.Its the standard for architectural and mechanical designs.If you want to simulate a design,then i would suggest MATLAB.Ofcourse the design methods don't match that of AutoCAD but MATLAB can simulate an engine and you can see how it works.Let it be noted that this is quite complicated.If you just want to draw,then try AutoCAD.
Best G.
