Ok, than seriously:

This is something what you should do at fist, Wikipedia do not know everything but always a lot.

Exactly how many hints does Mr. Damiean have to provide to convince the community that SolidWorks is a parametric CAD software?
Yes there is a huge difference among CAD packages; the parametric ones are NX, Catia, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Alibre, ProEngineer (they keep changing names - stupid marketing team), and even the master troll company AutoDesk 'Inventor" are PARAMETRIC Mechanical engineering CAD programs. If you want a free and LEGAL parametric CAD software try FreeCAD. Free and Legal 2D CAD: DarftSight and "Solid Edge Draft"
