    Working with Catia is the other way around, no amount of documentation is complex enough that you really understand what something does or can do.

      Catia

      I’ve been slightly involved in the CAD space, have tried Fusion, Inventor, AutoCAD, OpenSCAD, and Blender- even edited some G-Code by hand. But, I have never once heard of that.

        It’s a software that is used extensively in aerospace and car industries. It’s also ludicrous how expensive the licenses are.

        It’s hard to beat for completeness of functions but also for complexity.

        It’s made by Seimens, the industrial equipment manufacturer. IIRC it’s one of the oldest CAD systems there is, from the 80s when they started developing it in house for their own use.
