Re: OT Cadkey sold to Japanese company

"VX is not the greatest Cad program i know because we did a
eval between it SW, SE, and Inventor."

While it may not have the eye candy GUI (yet) that SW, SE
and Inventor have, VX can out model all of them with ease !
It's not even close !!!

How long ago did you look at VX ? VX has been working on the
UI consistently for the last 2 years and it's much better
than it was. Still has a way to go but it's certainly
getting there.

A recent poster to this newsgroup, Michael Gailey, just
purchased VX Mold and Die. I'm sure he had a damn good
reason because he laid out serious money for it. He could
have saved money in the short term on Solidworks but he
wanted a package that could get the job done without jumping
through tons of hoops. He made the right choice.

"There install base is very small also, they could not give
us a name of anyone using it in our whole state."

1. VX has always based development on their product for one
client. In the case of Vision (which is now called VX) that
client was Samsung.

2. VX has been slowly gearing up for the last 2 years and
sales are growing rapidly. VX hired some of the best people
from NCCS (NCL) and from Weber Systems who have many
years of experience and they know exactly where SolidWorks
is very, very weak.
