Thanks for your replies, you seem both experimented and it's a pleasure to read! CAD tools being more powerful is good but not when it comes at the expense of powerusers, like (I suppose) brudgers and I are. It's frustating because others trends aren't exploited. What the sense of being able to do more and better when your scope is more and more restricted? Where are the standard file formats that really carry informations? (small example: Creo and Inventor implemented svg import then dropped it...) CAD is a big walled garden and there are no alternatives, when they'll realize that openness is pure marketable innovation? As a side note, I worked in a company where "if Inventor doesn't crash everyday, you're not working!"... spend lot of time debugging colleagues, not the soft. And, we were using Inventor less than 20% capabilities. I think that said a lot about a concrete use of CAD.
