Hi all,

I'm looking for some nice software to make mechanical vector drawings (3D). InkScape is a good one, but is quite limited concerning 3D drawings.
Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I would like to help but I would ask what do you want to do with the 3D vectors?
Do you want to show Vector addition/subtraction? Perhaps read off the numerical resultant?
Or are you thinking of a full drawing tool that uses vector math to make 3D objects that can be scaled and rotated?

Ok, I just took a look at a description of InkScape. Looks like you are looking for drawing software.
If you know Java, Java3D is an API for doing 3d graphics.
