I haven't seen many people using Solidworks, especially for sub enclosures. Many are using Sketchup for 3d design but only people I have ever heard of using solidworks were the Architecture students at my school, and even they didn't like it all that much and said it wasn't used all that often in the industry.

You looking for sub box design? amp rack design? battery box design? need to be a little more specific, and people will probably want to know max dimensions and what not as well

If by 'the industry' you mean car audio, true. But otherweise speaking, SolidWorks is very widespread in general industrial design these days. I use it, I drew an 05 xxx and some boxes with it here a while back. I prefer using Autodesk Inventor.
Ive never used sketchup, but I imagine its more of a 2D setup. Seems 3d solid modelers like SolidWorks are abit overkill for just drawing enclosures.

teddy, you mentioned wanting movement in your pm. I'll ask here too, what's the purpose for needing the speaker to move in the drawing? Im just curious.

I can crank one out in a few minutes these days, need to reinstall it on my comp though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Solidworks is pretty **** expensive to using it for box designs...i use it all the time when i design machinery since it shows and represents moving parts and problems that could potentially arise.

BAH, was just writing down something and then totally remember I was thinking of VECTORWorks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif completely off base sorry there. I remember solid works now, mechanical and electromechanical engineer students were using that. I primarily work in AutoCad (civil engineer) I would like to learn some 3D stuff in autocad at some point so I can come up with some pretty 3d models instead of simple looking 2d plans

Yeah, well it the program i have. I am working on a few projects..

By designs I mean designs of anything. Not just car audio.

Throw out what you can offer me.

I use Solidworks. I have a design for a 15" Q @ 32Hz in 3.5 cubes.
