        Hello people.  I have found myself in the need for some (PD?) CAD
     design software (to run under X/Windows, preferably).  I need the
     generated object description to be in some common format, such as
     IGES, CGM etc, so I want to be able to design objects using this
     software which can dump the description in a format such as IGES.
     Does anyone know of any on the net?

	Alternatively, does anyone know of ftp sites with CAD data?  I am
     interested in objects which are suitable for milling, eg. ashtray,
     toilet etc.

        While we're on the begging topic, I would also be very interested
     in conversion software, IGES <==> CGM, for example, to convert
     between common formats.

        Many (*1000000) thanks in advance, I will post a summary if
     requested.  Please email all reponses direct to me.  Si.
