NO MAINTENANCE but a bargain at that price Download the trial and check your computer runs it ok My own computer only ran the full Alibre-Design trial version, not the atom 3D version, the licence restricts any extra options once an Atom licence is purchased If you want into CAD-world on the cheap then this is your moment edit: They've also got the top version licence at £1238 which is making me grind my teeth...
