Hi Burr,

>> I am surely a novice. However, the original discussion wasnt that MoI can replace ALL OTHER design packages. No ONE design package can DO IT ALL! Even the most clouded intelligence can surely see that.

I said it comes close to do it all, in the 'hard' engineering/Industrial design type of stuff I'm not trying to promote NX or put it on a pedestal, I was just trying to point out that in my line of business it is the only tool we need, I bought MoI for personal use because of it's ease of use and refreshing interface which was ideal for my hobby and to express ideas and MoI is quite capable of doing accurate modeling for real world stuff as well (I did a successful job at home) but it would not suit at work at this stage for our type of business, not even as a companion.

>> And as for how fast you could make the same part I made. I would love to see you at your workstation, nothing open, and Michael at his, and see who finished their part first.

As for speed if you know your softwares capabilities and where everything lives you can't compare and there are a whole lot of other factors involved.
Define speed? speed of modeling, speed of editing a model, speed of repositioning a hole, speed of assembly of components ??

I can go on with this for days, but because you are a novice I don't expect you to fully understand.
Just enjoy MoI, grow with it and create stuff that makes you and your friends smile.
I'm sure MoI will become even better as time goes on and I'm sticking with it.

I think thats it on this matter, my apology's to Bogdan and Michael for the hijacking of this thread.

Cheers
