Autodesk 123D Free Download Available! Boasts Advanced CAD Features.
Autodesk has always been a leading company in the CAD domain. Autodesk 123D software is a free software available for CAD enthusiasts who want to try out new innovative designs. If you've tried any of the sophisticated, commercial CAD tools like SolidWorks, Pro-E, or Inventor - you'll know that the free versions do not come anywhere close to the commercial applications. Autodesk 123D, on the first look, gives us an impression that it's a Google Sketchup clone however deeper inspection reveals that it offers some advanced CAD features like constraints and assembly.

Autodesk 123D
The only problem with 123D is that it's only available on Windows platform as of now and we do not know where linux version has been planned. Another problem is that the software is closed source so developers won't be able to make updates on their own to the source code. On the positive side, you have the facility to export to STL. It's clear that Autodesk is targeting hobbyists with this software. If you have any design idea, you might just want to give this software a try.
