Solidworks

Solidworks is a computer-aided design (CAD) software package that is the program of choice for jobs submitted to the shop. 

UCR has a Solidworks Site License, which allows UCR students to download and use the program for free.  You can access Solidworks here: Solidworks @ UCR

The program allows you to create a design that provides a detailed description of the dimensions of your piece.  And it's fun to use.
