The real issue for xNURBS is xNURBS is over-powerful and causes some concerns from other CAD vendors.
People in the CAD industry told us very clearly: xNURBS technique is too good; If other CAD vendors lose sales, they will try to play ‘nasty tricks’ on xNURBS; Also there is no way that Dassault will let SolidWorks continue to work with us on the existing partnership because xNURBS could interfere with CATIA sales.
While SolidWorks promised that ‘they have no difficulty to approve xNURBS addin’ and ‘they have been working very hard to get xNURBS approved’, they could never deliver their promise. You should ask Dassault what happened. Yes, they never did something like what they did on xNURBS before, otherwise they won’t have any partners.
Some clueless troll claims that xNURBS is an advanced patching tool. If Dassault is that stupid, then SolidWorks won’t have so many trouble on xNURBS’s approvement.
This thread draws watchful eyes from other CAD vendors and there are some professional trolls working on this thread, so be careful what you post on this thread.
Obviously, one winner of xNURBS technique is Rhino and Rhino users.
