RE: Anyone using the CAD packages?
I work for a custom manufacturer. Our "engineering" department here uses
SMP, Pro/E, CadKey, and Solidworks. I would say that Pro/E and Solidworks
are in a similar category, 3D design. CadKey and SMP provide solutions for
exporting NC code to run the machines that make the parts.
It has been my experience that AutoCAD is the most common, like everyone
else is saying. I wish there was a more advanced package available
available under the GNU license. I imagine software like Solidworks is an
incredibly complex undertaking, which would be why we have seen very little
of this class in the free software category.

Now that we are here, let me ask this question. All of my friends in the
faculty of mechanical engineering, only work with Autodesk AutoCAD
2000. I have been told that more sophisticated CAD packages also exist,
which may also run on non Wintel platforms, like Sun workstations. But
I haven't found any. I would really love to know "Is AutoCAD the
optimum CAD software, or are there more advanced ones available?"
