Hi I've been working with a variety of different packages this last while doing some 3D visualisation etc. They all seem to have a different way of working in 3D - Solidworks seems to be the most intuitive by far - most of the time the tools you are going to need are to hand and objects are easily manoeuvrable, rather than buried in menus.What are other peoples thoughts on ease of use of solidworks relative to other programmes? My list is currently (favourite to PIA!): Solidworks: Intuitive, no brainer to get your head around. AutoCAD: I guess familiarity! Rhino Maya: Waaaay complicated! I guess this is what MCAD programmes started off as? Millions of different drop downs and F button menu clusters. A fantastic prog but hell to get your head around!
Also - is there a ISO standard for which way things should zoom - It confuses my simple little brain when sapping from Solidworks to AutoCAD or Rhino! Cheers Deri
