Maybe it's just the engineers I've worked with, but I've never heard anyone describe Solidworks as "fast."

(Of course, you and I know it is, it's just that you're asking it to do a lot)

Modelling isn't the slow part. If one is copying a drawing and have exact dimensions its pretty straightforward in most software even if the software is bloated.

Haha yes, I've never heard any engineer discribe any CAD package as anything other than slow and full of bugs. But of the alternatives, I think most would still pick Solidworks.
