BuzzVA, It's probably not as off topic as you think. Ancor (through Hucom) has had pretty good success selling into the Catia market in Japan. If the SDRC software is similar, that could mean a market opportunity. I'm going to get my first hands-on experience with Pro Engineer tomorrow, when I install it for one of my customers. I'll be really curious how much horsepower and storage it requires. This customer uses primarily CadKey and Mastercam, and the file sizes, especially on the 3D and Solids are just huge! I'm beginning to see how a large company with a lot of solid modeling could clog up existing networks pretty fast. Craig
