Any, each has its pro and cons. Each is used in different applications. But if you have to leave one, leave Solid Works. Solid Works is not that good.

I don't know about solid works. I felt pro-e little easier than catia, whereas catia has more advanced option. To start with I would recommend PRO-E, and then catia.
@g-rakesh2-CVEauh • Mar 29, 2009
Catia is very good for surfacing and sheet metal design, while pro-e is good for solid and simulation..
@tkelly-CKF896 • Mar 30, 2009
Do not go for Pro-E, as detailing is difficult in this.
Solid works is very good and user friendly for solid modelling and Catia is good for
surfacing and sheet metal. Choose from these two.

It is the first time I have heard someone say solid-works is better than Pro-e in solid modeling.
Have you tried the latest wildfire version?

Pro-e is definitely better for large assemblies which is why most corprates use pro-e. CATIA is better if you are crazy about ID and wanna pursue that as your career as it has an amazing surfacing tool. Pro-e is widely used and catia is used where they deal with aeronautics basically.

Its all about preference. I prefer solidworks since thats what i learned. Iv had a play with pro e and inventor and id rather solidworks. solidworks screens i find more user friendly. pro e could be better on larger assemblies not sure. solidworks has cosmosworks and photoworks etc as add ins rather than completly seperate programs like pro e. I started with solidworks cause i had it so id prob just go with what you can get.

True.. it is about preference. Im afraid you'll need to try a couple before choosing one you like.
Though I'm not in mechanical engineering, I found designing CAD on Catia is really intuitive and their features are really powerful. I wonder how V6 is going to be like!
.. of course, I'd probably need to sell my car before I can buy it.
@yejc163-i5k7Tu • Apr 15, 2009
catia is the better than other one.i use ug before ,but now i use the catia to design our company products. catia is good at the surfce ,it is very easy to fill the surface ,ug and proe is trouble to do the same hole.
if anyone is use catia or ug NX ,pls add me ,we could communion about these soft to design products
