Hi, I'm a 3d mechanical caddist, I've always worked with autocad for simple metal carpentry work, being out of contract and getting to know the v5 chain as the most used software for all types of both automotive and non-working, I wanted to know if it's worth doing the course for this program that for most companies is like a business card. I know the mechanical design and the various isometric tolerances. What advice can you give me? thanks

catia v5 as the most used software for all types of processing

Who said that? looks like an advertisement, look at the job offers listings is you will find that it is not so. especially in metal carpentry.
catia is a high-end parametric cad (a barrel), therefore its use is limited. but it is a high niche, of quality.
finds use mainly in complex mechanics: automotive, naval, air.
I don't know what you mean by "metal shoe", but buy cat for putrelle and tubular and how to buy a caterpillar for shopping because you need a big trunk.

said this catia is a parametric software, and learning the use of a parametric software is definitely good thing is right.
other software parameters lower end are:
solidworks: of the same catia manufacturer, perhaps the most widespread software in the field of mechanics. It's a lower-end software than catia, but very powerful. the price is expensive, but more reasonable than catia.

Other solutions similar to solidworks are: inventor, solidedge, topsolid, creo.

Hello gm1990!!
question: Are you aiming to work in a particular sector or just want to increase your technical skills through this software?
I agree with gil with what he wrote and add that often companies in the automotive sector have more software for internal needs such as where I work in the design offices use siemens nx and dassault catia at the same time...the reason?
1) is migrating to nx
2) proggettisti for years work with caia and suppliers also use catia
3) if they already have works started in the cayenne carry them forward with cay....etc etc

some autocad licenses always for internal management reasons.
