No Sorry but i've been getting into AutoCAD's Fusion360 recently. Seems to be great for most CAD applications and free (but probably not for business use). It may not be suitable if you need archiectural. But I think its a damn powerful package and should work with existing data and of course other Autodesk products (they seem to be collecting good third party products like they are pokemon). Could be a good way to transition to an autodesk platform in the future too with standardised tools and features and integration a big plus if you need to exchange data with clients. Again depends on your CAD needs but worth alook though you have already.

Is there a specific reason you need to drop Solidworks, its been a good product for years. My work has been more with CG 3D not CAD but I've had many clients with CAD data they wanted animated /rendered for advertising and typically its from AutoCAD or Solidworks. With 3D printing I've been investigation CAD packages as my 3D ones are not suited for creating physicals and Fusion 360 seems to be the one that offers almost everything.
