Didn't say I prefer SW over WF. I said I prefer it over the older Pro E that I used at my previous job. I used pre-WF Pro E there and switched to SW when I took a new job. I mentioned that we recently installed WF 4.0 because we have a new client that uses Pro E so had to for compatibilty reasons. I don't have enough seat time in WF yet to have an objective opinion but, regardless of what I personally prefer, I have to use what my company uses because that's what the workstations have installed and it's what 99% of our clients use. They comprise the biggest corporations in the medical industry so I guess SW has a pretty large fan base in my industry.

Speaking of data transfer, here're the data translators that are built into IronCAD:
IGES
ACIS
Parasolid
STEP
CATIA V4 and V5
Pro/Engineer
Granite
Unigraphics (import only)
HOOPS
PDF/3D PDF
3DS
HDR/PIC
EXR
ICO
AVI
BMP
COB
DXF/DWG
EPS
GIF
JPEG
Kodak Photo CD
OBJ
POV
PCX
PNG
TGA
TIFF
Visual Basic
WMF
STL
VRML
SCN
RAW
PRJ
Like SolidWorks, you won't be designing a jet fighter using IronCAD, but unlike SW, the install takes up only 400 MB of disk space and that includes animation, hardware, and (mild) FEA.
