it is specialized for automotive, aircraft, tooling and a few other mechanical
uses.
you could use it for building or site design but you could do the same job with
other, cheaper, solutions.
don't get me wrong i use and like catia, but i do not fool myself about what it
is best at. i was given one job where i was using catia do draw 2d sketches of
a circuit breaker panel. it could do what was needed, but it was overkill to
the Nth degree. the same job could have been done on Qcad and with better font
support.
