Does anyone think Catia V5 is any good? 3

[Darrude]

Hi,

I've been using catia V4 and V5 simultaniously now for about 4 years. I think V4 is far ahead of V5 in functionality and overal ease of use for modelling. The only people I've come across that say V5 is better than V4 is V5 salesmen.

Please let me know if you agree or disagree.

Thanks,

Darren

I also miss the primitive shapes, but that's primarily because a large percentage of my job consists of testing and validating new code, as well as documenting PMRs. A cuboid was easier to create than a squarish sketch and a pad.

When I was doing "real" work, I found that most of the primitives were pretty useless - the only one I ever really used was the Cylinder, and I mainly used it for holes.
