Slightly off-topic, but if anyone is really upset by AutoCAD's (or SolidWorks's) ransom model, OnShape is a great free-for-public-pay-for-private alternative that can import/export most industry file formats :) Let's hope this new model starts to open things up a little bit!

I'll have to remember that next time someone brings AutoCAD up to me! Apparently it works on Linux machines, too, which is nice.

Yep! In the browser and not laggy! It's actually on its way to being a good substitute. I think it was created by the same folks that created SolidWorks, before it got bought by Dassault Systèmes.
