Tim,
I don't know that anyone actually said it wasn't NX, even if it is a bit previous to what may or may not be released in April or some later stage. It seems to gain credibility based on what may be an error on the part of the Bulgarian arm of PLMS.
Now the issue that I have is that there is little about what is shown that does not seem like it represents advancement over current product capability. In other words the sort of things that you would want were you able to think of it without having first had your appetite whetted by this video.
Maybe it is unfair to raise expectations too highly. But maybe it is also a bigger negative not to aspire to get as many of these goodies as possible for upcoming versions, based on the old "Bang for your Buck" criteria.
I think that to aspire is do engage in entirely a different mindset compared with wild speculation on what may be, as opposed to what could be. We could have to wait for NX-7 or longer, but without doubt there are still some good reasons here to believe that CAD can and will continue to get better over time.
While I accept that PLMS have the right to control the release and content of their product, such that maybe we shouldn't be seeing this. I would not want to let the moment pass without saying that what I saw looked very good and more power to them if they're able to deliver. It looks like direct modeling on steroids to me and I love the idea.
When these sorts of things do come up as they occasionally do then I see nothing to be gained in speculating too much or by vehement denials from PLMS. What I do see is some good ideas that once seen rather than being denounced can be acknowledged as such so that whatever the next version is I'm sure that the impetus gained to make real advancements can only be a god thing for maintenance paying customers.
Best Regards
Hudson
