I-DEAS upgrade

(OP)
Hi everybody,

We are currently working with I-DEAS MS7m2 and we are planning to upgrade to I-DEAS 8 in the near future. I would like to know what your upgrade experiences are. Also, I would like to hear some first impressions regarding the quality and stability of MS8.

RE: I-DEAS upgrade

We have Ideas 8.2 here at work running on HP Unix machines. I would stay away from from 8.0, 8.1, and stick with release 8.2. I understand release 8.3 is supposted to have a new window based (optional/Win NT only) interface, similar to SolidWorks, or your average CAD package. I would wait till release 9, to try it though, as I don't believe SDRC puts out anything that is not buggy in an intial release. 8.2 seams to be more stable than 8.0, or 8.1. But thats just my 2 cents

Will
