Thanks

PDS is very much used worldwide.
I don't have a clue how to import anything from Inventor.

Get Autoplant instead of that old PDS.

well I have tried calling Intergraph (they don't call you, i wonder how is their support after you end up buying the software). I also tried Society of piping engineers & designers. I am still waiting for the answer from them also.

My client overseas strictly uses PDS. I wonder if it can open step files or even iges files.

If you guys have used PDS, can you File>open> and what and how many different types of file types it can open. Maybe I can send you a sample to check if it works without giving you much trouble, if its okay with you guys.

Thanks very much.

I have been trying to get in touch with Intergraph for a week now and I haven't been able to contact them. We are interested in buying the license. From what I have researched it looks like this only runs on micro station or windows NT.
