This rumor started exactly 1 second after Dassault purchased SolidWorks, 6 years ago... (see

's new since then:

1) open C:\Program Files\SolidWorks and count the files named cat*.dll... 2) and are still unregistered, but is taken ;-)

an unknown person/company! That's why there was a smiley at the end of my line:

Dassault will need more imagination than me to name their 6 years-old-rumored killer app ;-) OT: BTW do you know any "reverse whois" tool to know which domains are owned by a given company?

facts: SW 2001 + had 60 sw*.dll and 20 cat*.dll files SW2003 has 63 sw*.dll and 23 cat*.dll + 1 acis.dll in SW2004b2 I count 75 sw*.dll, 34 cat*.dll and 10 spa*.dll (spaacis.dll) from this you can deduce, guess, speculate, dream, comment, extrapolate...

I first heard this one in January, 1998 from one of the developers of FastSurf. He was using this argument as to why I shouldn't consider dumping Cadkey for SolidWorks. I did anyway in November of that year. Different variation of this one have been around for (obviously) a very long time.

Yeah... Maybe SolidWorks will be replacing Catia LOL

extrapolate...

Cool... will it now allow me to place center marks on circles and center lines in my broken views?
