Hi madmaxman,
I have personally rather old experience with SolidWorks when we evaluated SolidWorks and Inventor (and chose Inventor for its features and compatibility). I have no details about the 64-bit version of SolidWorks but they are known to announce features “too early” – remember the loud “first Vista CAD” announcements of SolidWorks 2007 (which proved to be unusable in Vista).

Hmmm,

SolidWorks had 64 bit in 2007 & 2008. Not new to 2009. SolidWorks has always had dual dimensions. How long has your friend Sergio been on SolidWorks? How long have you been on inventor? Do a comparison side by side with all features offered. Not just a few. Sheet Metal, Molding, Weldments, etc.
