Hi ive heard i can get solidworks from makerspace. Any validity to this claim?

I believe our license has lapsed and that we are waiting for the next version to release in a few weeks.
@Team_Digital_Media?

The post about SolidWorks is in an area of the forum restricted to DMS members. Let’s check if you two have the requisite badge. The badge looks like this…

I don’t see it.

I believe the badge is applied “by hand” (a script is run by a person; that script applies the DMS badge). Unfortunately, you now know everything I know. Maybe @StanSimmons can help get you two your DMS badge. If not, I suspect he can direct us to someone who can.

fusion360 is free and probably does what you need.
