This looks good. Thanks for the tip.  I was using Sketchup but I would like something closer to a real 3d modeler.
Does the ptc software have what I know as a sketcher?  They have this in NX and I think also in Solidworks.

If you just want to learn, don't waste your time with anything but solid modeling. 2D software is useless and dead.
Leave flatland forever! Once you transition to 3D you cannot return! You will be assimilated!  cheers

Yes, I used to use NX (was UG) but don't have $20k for a licence or whatever it is at this point.
