Unigraphics NX4 thoughts

[Daniel Morse]

This year, I am starting at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. All full time students are required to have a laptop, usually provided (for a price) by the school (really nice thinkpads). On the school provided machines, we get a number of nice programs. One of the programs that I was interested in was Unigraphics NX4, which replaced Solidworks. I did some reading into the program, and found out that it does parametric modeling (CAD), CAE, and CAM. It seemed intriguing, but I wondered if anybody has had experience, professional or otherwise, with this software and what you thought of it. Is it easy to use? How quickly do you think an Inventor user will adapt to it? Your thoughts are appreciated.
