PTC Creo Parametric is more intuitive and there are more options. It is more of a direct input environment and it seems to be a bit more professional.

Mike Goetz

Senior Engineer, Augustine Die and Mold Inc.

I started my career using SolidWorks, then I switched to Pro/ENGINEER which is now Creo. Creo Parametric, in my opinion, is the best CAD software available. I have noticed recently that files created in Solidworks tend to have solid modeling issues and make it difficult to design to the solid models needed. The reputation and performance that Creo has definitely surpasses any other software on the market.
