15 years CAD. AutoCAD and Cadkey in the beginning. Some Solid Works, Inventor, surfcam along the way. Started using VX "classic" in 1992 (Varimetrix version 2.5, I think). Switched to VX vision in 1998. Much rapid prototyping, reverse engineering, CNC programming Tool/Mold/Fixture design, mostly in cast and formed metal. More recently designing video game machines and other consumer products. Also used VX for programming CMM's and inspection data analysis. Steve Farentinos Los Angeles

Yacht design and construction for the last five years. I just started using VX, having used Solidworks in the past. I continue to use Multisurf to generate and analyze hull shapes, but I am liking VX capabilities for producing complicated deck surfaces which can become tedious in Multisurf (still a program that I love).

10 years, mostly Plastic Injection mold design. Some Surfcam, MasterCam, Solidworks, and still using PowerShape, and now VX as of last week. Still gonna use Delcam's Electrode wizard, till VX adds similar/better documentation( I know ya can!!!)

Maccam, welcome to VX! I think you will find the software to be a lot friendlier than Pro-E. Will take you a while to get used to it, but you will never look back (and probably never want to use any other CAD system).
