I found that SolidWorks is best, probably because that what i am used to. The userinterface of NX feels a bit dated while ProE is beauteful but a little to smart and minimalistic for my taste.
Here is a Draft of the study, Will continue on it later with more pictures and better/longer explanations of functionality.

That is certainly the reason. I use Solid Edge and find SolidWorks' GUI a total mess.

Although I use at work an old version of Solid Edge prior to Synchronous Technology.

You have one strange Pro-E version :)
I think you mixed up between Pro-E and Autodesk Inventor. Pro-E's GUI is very basic compared to Inventor.

Hi guys,

I've checked out the dev-assembly branch from git, but failed to compile with the following error:
FreeCad/free-cad-code/src/Mod/Assembly/App/opendcm/core/equations.hpp:33:41: fatal error: boost/fusion/include/copy.hpp: No such file or directory

I have boost/fusion/include in /usr/include directory, but there is no copy.hpp file...

Any ideas?
I have boost-dev installed.
Using Ubuntu 11.10

Thanks,
Alex

I checked that: copy was introduced with version 1.48, so you need at least that boost version. Don't know which one is shipped with ubuntu 11.10.

Ubuntu 11.10 is not longer maintained so you should consider upgrading to the LTS version. There boost 1.48 is used.

Thanks for fast reply.
Indeed, I have 1.46 here.
Another good reason to upgrade...

All of this about building "Assembly" is way beyond my understanding. So... a question.(again) :o
In FreeCAD, is *every* line, arc, circle, point or any other *basic* shape identified and stored in the document file such that "assembly" could refer to it to retrieve info and set constraints? The answer is probably obvious to you folks. I just don't go there.
