OpenSOurce formats are nice, but I'm not sure whether the professional CAD programs can load them.<br>2. Autodesk has a university program, where you can download a free full (in the sense of really everything except Maya) version of all their programs, as long as you have an e-mail-adress of a university or are associated to one. For me that worked nicely with my adress from university of Heidelberg, but also with adresses from the german cancer research center (just said that it's a non-profit research institute). So this is an easy way to get a professional CAD (Autodesk Inventor) without paying, but with all the features ;-) If anybody is interested.
