David,

>     I have found that only matrix can meet the most variety of needs. 

    It is a good program, you are true. Until now, we have always used
    it in the compagny I work for. But we discovered a new one. What i
    don't like in matrix is that you often need to use Rhino, and Rhino
    isn't     really a solid modeler. in add, Matrix isn't "parametric"
    it has only "wizards"...

    So, this software could suit your need as you like Matrix, you will
    like 3design!

    Indeed it looks simple or basic because its interface is pleasant
    not so complex as most CAD programs. There are 2 solutions, my
    company bought the 1st one and i rent (for my personnal use) the
    3designexpress.com. 

    As you said, the choice of a program depends on who you are:
    manufacturer, retailer, designer...
