Is there a more comprehensive description of the differences between the drawing tools in Atom3D and Profesional? The drawing tools are supposed to be better, but are they $700/$549 better? Is there a more detailed list of features available?

Thanks!

A bit down on this page you can see most of the differences.


In a few words... if you need standardized 2D drawings for manufacturing you need Pro or Expert. Atom3D only has the basics.

It's just the auto-generated 2d drawings?
Not sure what you mean by auto-generated drawings, it's a manual process to create drawings and set the views.

If you expand and click on each section header in the Help Topics list for the drawing process


some will indicate which version that option is available in:

Alibre actually has a little-known part of their website detailing, with videos, all the things you get by buying Professional. It has more detail and examples than the Comparison page.
Not sure how you're supposed to find that little gem!

How’d you find that? Is there one from pro to expert? Aside from a few specific things, really not sure what the big differences are.

If there is it is probably hidden somewhere. Short of a video check out the comparison page.
The major additions for Expert are Global Parameters, Assembly features, Configurations, and Sheet Metal, to name a few.
