I'll take that bet, please create a surface with ISDX (WF 3 or before please) and I will match it using standard Pro/Surface techniques -G2 and all! ANY surface created withing ISDX can be created with traditional techniques -this was confirmet to me by the then PM for surfacing and styling at USER a few years ago.. I like ISDX by the way.. but it is too expensive!
Anyway - yeah maintenance cost are completly crazy - we have 6 seats of foundation, 3 AAX 2 ISDX, prismatic milling and a REX seat and I think we pay in excess of
Off topic, but I feel i need to defend myself here, why the hostility?
Sjees, you really got to watch how you type things. I ain't turning this into a bet either. It's all about control. I can send you pictures when I get back from a A-side contour surface for a tractor roof, double curved G2 continuity everywhere which was impossible to do in normal surfacing as you LACK the control, change a curve sketch, update, tweakanother curve through points update, split up the surfaces,update, create one big surface, update, etcetc the surfaces created where never smooth or had the right tension or didnt feel right for the industrial designer. It was then done in CDRS which is pretty close to ISDX in no time.
Abject apologies if I came accross as hostile as it was in no way my intent..
anyway, while I still say that any surface which ISDX can create, Pro/Surface can too,I'm sure your surface was a dificult one and I'm sure ISDX / CDRS helped you greatly when trying to achieve your desired result quickly.
I want to come to the next Pro/E users conference in England. You ever go to those james? I spoke at one back in 2002 and had so much fun. BAE Armor devision is heavy committed to Pro/E because military contracts demand PTC software.
Depending upon which customer demand is... BEA groups in england are ran as separate business units and make decisions upon which is best for making more money. PTC usually wins in the US market.
I have had my training with Root Solutions and found them very knowledge and helpful. We now have our maintenance with them also. We used to be with another reseller, but the technical support was not as efficient and knowledgeable as Root Solutions.
