Cad Software packages

Just starting this discussion.

I use Rhinoceros every single day, as a surface modeler. It is free for trial use, cheaper than most to buy, and you can model surfaces way better than a parametric package like solidworks. You also aren't constrained to drawing on a plane or having a history tree recalculate every time you make a modification.


It will handle large point clouds from Scan data, and with a plugin called Grasshopper you can automate alot of things.


What are you guys using to model Car bodies and such and why?
