[QUOTE] I was discussing SW with my nephew and some of his high school buddies and they asked if old versions were available for them to play with and learn on. I have no idea, I'm just astounded that they have interest in SW rather than "Call of Duty" or such and...they wanted to be legal![/QUOTE] There's no "lite" version of SolidWorks right now. You can put in a request to SolidWorks with this scenario. There is an educational version, but not all VAR's support it. Check around. Matt [URL]http://sw.fcsuper.com[/URL]
