Rhino is the cheapest professional CAD tool on the market by an immense margin.

Compared to Solidworks, Inventor, Studio Tools, Catia or any other package, a grand is a steal.

And compared to the horrific productivity of "free" cad packages, you will quickly recoup that cost. (aka Fusion360/TinkerCAD , SCAD)

Do you find Fusion 360 productivity horrific?

I haven't used the expensive programs, but do a lot of work in 360. Would love to know what I'm missing.

Is there a way to get it to work under Linux?
