Examples Of Custom Barwork Software

Have seen a few examples of trays and barwork in some of the threads that have been done with software. Just wondering what some of you guys use. Mainly the 3D kind of stuff, though anything that can have dimensions added and allow for shape or style alterations to be made relatively simply.
Thanks

I use Solidworks 3D at work to design sheetmetal/non sheetmetal parts and assemblies.
Pretty easy for a novice to use in my opinion.
Planning on designing my tube side steps soon on Solidworks

Yep, solidworks, takes a little while to get the hang of it when you don't do it for a living but it's probably one of the easiest.

Has to be easier than AutoCAD, I'm used to using 3D studio max but AutoCAD start up screen had me stuffed straight up.
