if you were not able of download freeship try this link

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/f...e.zip?download

And about ALibre xpress, if you have any problems downloading try to contact the company so far i know they are really good on helping, just to let you know it is free but very crippled, so a lot of the main features are gone, but still capable to do simple parts, like bitts or small boat hardware and hey for free why not.

and for doing the rest of the work use ProgeCAD lt

good luck and let the forum how it work out for you

but if you don't mind expending some money for agood software download Rhino and TouchCAD demos this areally good softwares very complete and proven.

good luck

You don have to buy nothing is free, you can contact the guy that wrote the software i'm quite sure he will send you a copy if you are having problems downloading the file.

or send me a private message with an email adress where i can send you a copy, and about rhino or touchCAD IMO this are the way to go if you are willing to invest some money and time.

good luck

Here's the .zip for freeship, version 1.80 for windows. If you need one for a different platform let me know. I will delete this in a week or so to conserve room
