Zen Master Elaine,

Actually, it is very interesting to read of this dilemna for the students on your team. It was equally interesting to read the suppliers response.

It could have been a conversation at any CAD tube at any supplier to the Auto Industry.

Ford uses IDEAS, DaimlerChrysler uses Catia, GM uses UG. Others use still others.

The supplier base runs the gamut of packages from Freeware to full blown CAD/CAM/CAE packages costing 100's of thousands in license fees per year.

BUT... we NEVER seem to have as easy a time as we like getting data out of one system and into anothe. It is a big expensive headache.

It is a tough lesson to learn, but perhaps some of these kids will have a 'better idea' in college and provide us all with a door to get out of this corner we have painted ourselves into.

A guy can dream, can't he?

Joe J.
