I just got an announcement from my local CAD/CAM VAR about a CAD software called 'VX Design' going on a major discount until 10/31/03. They don't say this on thier web site.

The normal price for VX design is $4,990.00 and for this month only it is going for $995.00

I do not have this software nor do I know anything about it. I just wanted to give this special out to all because it sounds like a real bargan!

The web site is http://www.vx.com

Hi Jeff,

It looks like its $995.00 for their VX Basic Cad designer "Only".
No Cam, mold, ect.... are included.

If it had Cam included then it would be a bargin. Without Cam tho, I recommend Rhino , more features at half the price.

No, VX Basic is always $995. Their VX Design is also the same price but they don't say this on their website.

No CAM but a nice price for the full version of VX CAD. You must have to ask them or a VAR for them to get the special price.
