Hello Friends,
I am a Product development Engineer in Automotive Industry with little bit of exposure to CAD packages like IDEAS, Pro E , UG, Auto CAD...Planning to start my career in CAD. Can someone discuss regarding the present & future trend of these packages. If one wants to take up course fresh which will be having more scope.
I am in Canada.
Thanks for suggestions.
