Autocad pro e

Hello sir I want to know the differences between Auto Cad and Pro E software so please provide me information about the same.

Auto cad is generally used for drafting. It has both 2-D and 3-D. It is generally used by civil engineers. Pro-e - pro-e is now creo. It is 3-D software which is used CAD/CAM/CAE.

Comparative Study of Different CAD Software

Design processes have become much faster after arrival of CAD software and as the design time has reduced, the new product introduction (NPI) time has also reduced drastically.

1. 2D CAD software

Major automobile and aerospace organizations used to develop their own internal design software.

These softwares are mainly developed for the repetitive drafting problems.

Some most popular 2D cad softwares of recent times are:

1.1. Autocad: AutoDesk is developed this software.

This is one of the first CAD software which popularize the use of CAD softwares because it does not require strong graphic configurations.

Autocad can be customized using Auto lisp, Visual lisp, VB,.Net and C++.

It supports .DWG and .DXF file formats. 3D modeling is also possible using AutoCAD but not so popular.

1.1. Microstation:

This software is famous for use in civil, architectural and plant layout related drawings, though it is having strong rendering features.

The later versions are capable of 3D modeling as well.

2. 3D CAD software

The developments of 3D softwares have helped product design real fast

Some popular 3D cad softwares are:

2.1. Catia (Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application):

This is icon based high end cad software, developed and marketed by desault-IBM.

Cost wise it is higher then pro/e, solid edge etc.

Apart from CAD it is having modules in CAM (computer aided manufacturing) and CAE (computer aided engineering).

2. Pro-Engineer (pro/e):

It is developed by PTC.

It is having many modules which include solid modeling, surface Modeling, sheet metal, Pro mechanica (FEA), machining, cabling etc. Pro/e is known for its strong parametric and logical relations.

3. Solid Edge: It is developed by UGS. This is also icon based software.

Though it is very user friendly, it is having some drawbacks like: user cannot see how the edit will interact with its subsequent features.
