"The third problem area was the difficulty customers had in making the
transition from CADDS 4X to CADDS 5. When initially released, CADDS 5
had far too many technical problems and many of the applications
customers had come to depend upon were only available for use with
CADDS 4X. The transition from one to the other was difficult and many
customers felt if they were going to go through such a difficult
upgrade why not look at alternative products on the market. Those that
did frequently ended up buying software"

That was when I'd just started using the program. And just like the
above statement, the company changed over to UG after 1 year of CADDS
5.

An easier reading view of general cadcam history...

If you had a source code license the CV subroutines
were much better & much more extensively documented for
CADDS 5 than for anything before IIRC.
