What industry? What standard? In the industry I'm in (mechanical
engineering/manufacturing), Mastercam, Pro engineer, Catia, Solidworks,
Solidedge, Invetor, ect are the software you will encounter. AutoCAD is
slightly more prevalent than hen's teeth.

However, if I'm going to shell out $500 + bucks for CAD
software, I think I would go with the industry standard as much as it irks
me.
