Pro/Desktop Express seems to work well with QualECAD View3D.
I created a few quick components and imported them into Protel/View3D via VRML
without difficulty.
Pro/Desktop is sort of a "hidden gem" from PTC. It is much easier to use than
Pro/Engineer -- very similar in user interface style to SolidWorks, Solid Edge
and Catia. The free version appears to have all of the modelling functions
intact. A feature comparison chart between it and the full version can be seen
in the FAQ at: http://ptc.com/products/desktop/prodesktop_faq.htm
