This is SO COOL... looks like autodesk is going to have a little friendly competition, good to see that SolidWorks is getting its foot in the door. I've been a user of Autodesk, IMSI, Surfware, and SolidWorks CAD/CAM software for awhile since each has its strengths...
In my opinion, Autodesk has the best part creation tools, SolidWorks has the best virtual analysis and assembly construction/testing tools, IMSI has the best value (if a bit skiddish at times) CAM system that you can buy of course dwarfed by Surfcam Velocity w/TrueMill in capability.... but also in price
Wow... having COSMOS will save all first teams SOOOOO much prototyping time....
reminds me.... anyone from Xbot.... you guys use solidworks right? do i remember right that you 'prototyped' your tube pickup system in COSMOS?
