Really old. Really. Really. Old. 1997.

When I was in school, Solidworks didn't exist. Rhino had just been released. You could only use ProE if you paid thousands of dollars for a seat, and it had to run on a special Sun Microsystems box.

AutoCAD was generally available, it could run on a PC, and only a couple hundred dollars if you were a student. But at my university, the only way you could take AutoCAD was through the Engineering department, and there was a pre-req of 3 semesters of trig. (I went to my local community college to get trained on AutoCAD, $300, no trig necessary.)

But I was an Industrial Design student, and the school felt that they should probably offer some kind of CAD thing to us. But they sure as heck were not going to pay for ProE.

A company called Bently gave our school free seats to a piece of software called MicroStation. They told us it was the "same thing" as ProE. Not. But I suppose it was better than nothing.

The final assignment of the sememster, we had to make something that had surfaces with complex curves. I made a little toy viking boat. This is the wireframe for it. I'll post the rendering if I run across it.
