SolidWorks

Who uses it? I'm in class for it and have to say this is better than ProE and AutoCad Inventor combined. It is so easy.

Here. Not as much as I used to since I got out of design work. But yeah its pretty easy.

Here's a rendered surface safety head I designed. Just used the photoworks that comes with SW. There are other programs that can make it look alot better but this one works pretty good.

Ive played with it some. Its been a while though. I dont have a real CAD background ( Only cadcam: FeatureCam, Gibbcam ) so it was a little awkward for me.....

[T-REX]

yes much easier. Just don't get to use it as much as I would like. Been having to go backwards and use autocad a lot lately.

I use Solid Edge at work, but wished we had Solid Works as it is much more user friendly...

No, Mark. Kevin is above Mark. You probably see Kevin the most, Mark is more on the shop floor. I think his title is Production Manager.

[Jaybo31]

Yeah I've dealt with Kevin alot. I rememeber when he was a parts gopher

I used to be the Design Supervisor next door at Brandt for 8 years. I left in 2004. Used to come over and help setup your Autocad menus and do your customization and work on your computers. We were using Inventor and TOT had just switched to Solidworks. I now have to do 3D in Autocad, but it is all driven by customized menus, so it is not to bad. Not anywhere as close as Inventor or Solidworks.
