Has anyone used Pro/Desktop Express extensively? I've just begun to use it, and am very impressed with its performance, price (FREE!), and interoperability with Autocad and Pro/E. For a free download from PTC, its seems quite capable as a 3D parametric modeler, although is lacking in some of the basic 2D sketching tools. Comments, anyone?

Pro/Desktop vs. Solidworks
- Thread starter butelja

You'll find that in order to do more complicated (ie larger assemblies and file management) routines in Pro/Desktop you'll have to get more and more add-on supplimental programs from PTC. Desktop may be a good 3d modeler for singular parts and small assemblies, but from what I have been hearing (I don't use it myself), it falls hsort of the capabilities that SolidWorks 2001plus has right out of the box.
