I want to change MDT6 for another cad software. Which one do I choose?

I want to change MDT6 for another cad software. Which one do I choose?

(OP)
Hi, I'm a Mechanical Desktop 6 user for 2 years now, and I heard about the sheet metal utilities of other software and the welding assembly and adding to all this I'm sick and tired of having fatal errors or corrupted files. So now I want to go with a new cad software, but which one do I choose between Solid Edge, Solid Works or Inventor.
Your help would be nice cause when I'm talking to each retailers they all say that their products is the best so I'd like to have other opinion about that.

Thanks

Patrick

G'day Pat,

I can't comment on Solid edge, or solid works, but as far as Inventor goes STEER CLEAR. Don't get me wrong the sheet metal modelling environment in Inventor I think is great, but, unless you are sending all of your work directly to a CNC Punch (Via some conversion software) then forget about the drawing enviroment in Inventor, maybe they will get it right by version 10.

Cheers
Mike

Thanks Mike

   I don't have any CNC machine to work with so I'll be fine
