2. Does changing CAD systems make business sense?
3. What about my existing data?
4. Can SOLIDWORKS do the job?
"We chose SOLIDWORKS after researching all of the major CAD software. We looked at ProE, SOLIDWORKS, Autocad, and Space Claim. The final decision was easy and based on the following three factors:
1. Cost per license
2. Ease of use. SOLIDWORKS is taught at the local vocational schools. Finding skilled employees is not a problem with SOLIDWORKS.
3. Ability to share editable files with suppliers and customers in a format they could open. Even suppliers who use different CAD/CAM software can open SOLIDWORKS files.”
- Brian Smith, Engineering Manager

Forced into term licensing. – Autodesk has stopped the use of Perpetual Licensing.
Engineers spending too much time searching for drawings or parts . – Lengthy workarounds are required as a majority of customers and vendors are using SOLIDWORKS.
Missing important product launch dates due to assembly issues. – Autodesk recently had a 20% reduction in workforce and some of their largest VARs are closing offices.
Dissatisfied with lack of technical support. – Autodesk Support continuously gets negative reviews and feedback from its customer base.
