For conceptual design & lay-out, where you know what you want to draw but don't yet have a detailed image in your head, it is very helpful to transition from "assembly modelling" to "part modelling" and back again. And so forth, in a loose, un-pre-determined manner.
to this type of work, yet also very robust when it comes time to generate drawings.
Since I am evaluating the 3 packages, I set a simple goal (a simple collapse-able assembly) with a time constraint - 5 minutes.

In SW2005, is there a way to create a NEW part while you are viewing the assembly it may be a part of ?
Thanks !
