few things that Pro/e can do (automatically) which SW needs to be forced, are so seldom used that they're hardly a plus. Where as, the functionallity SW has over Pro . . .stuff the user uses often. (I've only come across one guy who

Good news; both programs functionallities are converging with each other.
Autocad is for the 2-D world.
