My father just recently got a purchase requisition for a dual Xeon P4 system approved for the CAD dept. at the company he works for. His CAD dept. runs AutoCAD. He always asks me what is the current thing. I always say, "why ask me? My newest computer is over a year old". I tried to recommend

We have both Protel 99SE (bought to seats) and PCAD (inherited 1 seat), and comparing them PCAD is more powerfull, but Protel is easier to use. They both have different ways of doing things so going between them is not the easiest thing for the user. The features announced for DXP look to bring
