I work with all of the CAD programs almost on a daily basis. CATIA is a monster. Sure it can do some a amazing stuff, but you have to be a pretty amazing CAD person to figure all of it out as it is well, "CATIA". Almost everyone fan or foe will acknowledge that it is "just difffernt"<br><br>So, I am psyched to see them turning it up a bit. I think leveraging the web in a 2.0 kind of way is long overdue for the industry. Interesting points you made on the Matrix side as I am unfamiliar with their technology.<br><br>derrekDerrek CooperWed, 04 Jun 2008 18:57:43 -0000http://solidworksheard.disqus.com/future_of_cad_and_cloud_computing/#comment-1093266Lou.. great post. Couldn't agree more that this is a direction the CAD/CAE market could take. Not could take, but "will take". I am not sure I know what direction that will take or what it will look like, but for sure, the options are endless. <br><br>Isnt there some of this functionality with PDMWorks Enterprise? Online Project Collaboration seems to be the most likely to take the plunge.<br><br>In the past, bandwidth, security and accessibility were the limiting factors. the beauty of today is that Google and other monsters out there are making On Demand Software a household reality.<br><br>I think it is a matter of time that SW will jump into this. Definitely looking forward to it.Derrek CooperMon, 04 Aug 2008 13:50:21 -0000
