Jon Banquer! Small world, eh? I wondered what you were doing on
rec.aviation until I realized this is crossposted to
comp.cad.solidworks. Been quite awhile since we got into ****ing
matches on the Cadkey webforum... I gave history based parametric
modelers a good try, I really did (UG, SWX, and Inventor) but I got
tired of having the inability to model something the way I wanted
based on the constraints of an earlier design version... and want back
to a pure geometry modeler (KeyCreator). It certainly has some warts,
too many IMHO, and I think Greg Marr still gets annoyed when I bitch
too much, but warts and all it's still the best tool I've found for
the kind of work *I* do... YMMV.

Hi Dana,

One day more users many come to realize that you really need both
approaches in one system. I believe UGNX 5 has made major progress in
this area and probably is the leading system for using both
approaches.

Still utterly clueless, eh?
Another system you've never used & know nothing much about: UG.

KeyCreator should be adding parametrics and SolidWorks
should be adding more tools for working directly on non-native
geometry.
