Version: Alibre Design Xpress 8.2
Pros: There is no reason for me to list any because the previous comments list them.
Cons: The reason why I give this program a 4 star rating instead of a 5 is due to one major requirement. You are forced to install the Microsoft java virtual machine. This I consider to be the major downfall to this program. Soon JVM will not be supported and I am already running into websites that say I need the sun microsystems version of java for certain things.
Download.com you really should list in the requirements field that Microsoft's Java Virtual Machine is a requirement. Whithout it you can't install this on your machine!

Version: Alibre Design Xpress 8.2
Pros: I registered for the product thinking it would be another marketing gimmik, but after downloading it, I have been using the program almost every day! It is so easy to use, and has the features that I need with out spending thousands on a CAD system. It is the best free product out there!!!

Version: Alibre Design Xpress 8.2
"No ads or internet required anymore!"
Pros: Enables parts of almost unlimited complexity, assemblies and associative drawings.
No longer requires internet connection while running and there is nolonger an ad banner. That is what most poeple listed in "cons" gone!
Cons: Assemblies are limited to 5 different parts (but multiple instances of each part are allowed).

Version: Alibre Design Xpress 8.2
"Real 3D parametric solid modeling for FREE"
Pros: This is a powerful product that is comparable to products like SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor that cost thousands.
It includes parametric sketching with automatic constraint capture, feature based modeling with engineering features like bosses, fillets, chamfers, sweeps, etc. Also included are limited assembly modeling and associative 2D drawings - if you change the 3D model the 2D drawing updates automatically.
If you are a mechanical designer, engineer, or manufacturer, or are just interested in 3D CAD, Alibre Design Xpress is a no brainer.
Cons: Internet connection required but can be removed for $49
