Who's making this secret CAD app ?? Mail me directly if you don't want to say it publically....
As for Pro/E on Linux, how long do you think PTC will remain in business ?? They're on shaky ground and have been for sometime. That's one reason my employer is exploring other 3D-modeling apps (we currently use Pro/E). Think AutoCAD will be ported to Linux anytime soon ?? It *is* THE 2D CAD application in the world.
