We got caught out. We employed some one, from a different site, to do a PCB design. His profile said he was from Norway. Later after we had gotten the files we discovered there was a problem. It turned out he was from China and had put up a false profile.
It goes without saying we would not have given him the job had we known where he was from.

As i know, developers of major CAD systems extensively use free and open source software to develop their products. Most of the design work can be done in cheap software (Rhino,  Moi, T-Flex, Kompas). It is overkill to use CATIA on simple box with rounded corners. Most designers think that expensive software add some magic to their primitive designs.
