swissis, I would tend to agree with you. Extensive use of the VPE P&ID application has led me to have a rather low opinion of the tool. That could also be affected by the fact that I have had zero training from Aveva personnel, and access to only one poorly written training manual. I'm a quick study though, and I've picked up most of the program without problem. I've also written an in-house user manual for my company that has really cleared up a lot of issues--even with those who received Aveva training. (Keith, if you're reading this, I know you meant well!)
I have booked a meeting with our Acad reseller to demo the latest P&ID software from them. It was supposed to have been this morning, but the rep's wife went into labour thus necessitating a reschedule.
I would consider migration to an Autodesk product that is compatible with VPE to be a very positive event.
cadfusion,
maybe we can re-address the issue at the 2007 conference. Tim Gray (w/Autodesk) said he was going to be there, so it looks like the experts will be on hand.
