AutoCAD costs $2,030 a year.
SolidWorks costs $4,195 a year just for the standard license.
Someone open sourced a 3D parametric modeler that does most of what both of them do, and you can install it on Windows, Mac, and Linux for $0.
It's called FreeCAD.
Sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes, extrude them into parametric 3D models, and edit any parameter in the history tree to update the entire design instantly.
Reads and writes STEP, IGES, STL, DXF, OBJ, and IFC out of the box.
