SW or Inventor or Wildfire?

[Guest]

Need to evaluate again for a new employer. Anyone have recent
experience and can point out some strengths / weaknesses of each as
they pertain to machine design? I have about 4 years on SW, he has 1
seat of Inventor but has not had time to learn & is still running MDT.
Thanks

They are all have the same general features. Of course, if you want
one specific ability that is in only one of the programs... then that
becomes the best choice.

But if you are the CAD guy of the company, and you know SolidWorks...
I think that is your answer.

You should also check out Alibre Design. It's a fraction of the cost
and will handle much of what the other parametric modelers can. They
also have a free version called Alibre Design Xpress that might work
for you.

Stay with MDT not an option?
