Re: Moving to another CAD software

+1 for either SolidWorks or Inventor. Working in both the mechanical and electrical fields, it seems that SolidWorks and Inventor are widely used on the Eastern coast, while Pro-E/Creo is more predominant on the Western coast.

If you are looking for a good program for entry level, Inventor is probably the quickest to learn; closely followed by SolidWorks. As far as Pro-E/Creo is concerned, it may be a bit confusing for those just starting out in the parametric modeling world. But that's my 2¢.
