CADWorx vs. PTC Mathcad

CADWorx's ability to create any construction 2D drawing and the drawings editing functionalities are the best and very powerful on multiple Engineering 3D models production and event to export 3D images to other CAD platforms are quick and very simple. 3D simulation is excellent and the collaboration of multiple construction project professionals is excellent.

It is great for any manual calculation. You can lay it out as you would on paper, but the math is calculated instantly, similar to how it is in excel. It is superior to either method for most engineering calculations. Being able to copy-and-paste is very helpful for considering multiple scenarios. In some situations where you need to do the same calculation on an array of numbers, Excel is still faster.

Higher-order math, despite symbolics, become tedious and variable nomenclature isn't as forgiving as other programs. Due to it's sheet-like nature, the greater the complexity the more bothersome the screen usage becomes. But it's a trade-off between a sketchpad-like interface or lines and lines of code. Pick your poison but MathCad was our choice.
