I am reviewing the currently available CAD systems , we are currently on Pro/Engineer. I am biased towards Pro/Engineer having spent the last ten years as a pro/e admin.
I want to be open minded and consider using solidworks instead of Pro/Engineer. The reason is to reduce running costs and improve ROI. Big brownie points with the exec, but also bad if we cannot produce models to the right quality/ speed.
Our large assemblies are 9000+ parts and just on the verge of running out of memory under 32 bits windows with the 3Gb switch.
The salesmen tell me that solidworks can do anything that Pro/E can. Is this true?
I will test solidworks in time but I want to know the good bits and also the warts before I start.

Any help or comments would be great.
