Honestly, the way PTC has completely dropped the ball when it comes to getting Pro/E into colleges is the main reason. One of the reasons the SW users hers (who never actually really put forth any effort to LEARN Pro/E) are pushing for it is the lack of Engineers who can use Pro/E fresh from school. I'd rather them hire experienced Engineers, but maybe that's just me....
So, I think it will look good on MY resume, so I'm going to put effort into learning it. I will give it a fair evaluation after I've learned enough about it's capabilities, though I will say it will probably be very much like friends who are very experienced users in both and in general are saying. We'll see. There are some things I like about SW from what I saw already. I'm curious about the GUI's all the i-phone kiddies seem to love......
And, from seeing their work, I'm sure I'll be more fluent in SW than they ever became in Pro/E.....and I'm also sure I'll even be better in SW than any of them. Only one of them even remotely impresses me in SW.
So, my questions to those who use both is:
1. What should I expect?
2. What are the shortcuts/tricks?
3. What is the easiest/best approach to learn it quickly and fluently?
4. Using surfacing and the advanced features like I do, what are the comparable features and building methods in SW?
Anything else you think I might want to know.
Grazie!
Stay tuned dear friends!
