I think you will be suprised whats available in Solid Edge. A very complete package with intuitive interface, great surface capabilities and job tracking functions. For me; I am still considering it in the top 3. I used surfacing extensively so I may need a bit more than what is available in Solid Edge. Get a demo disk from Siemans. UGS in the past have been hard to deal with but I think that may change with Siemans. Good Luck
