Pro/Eng is a 3d, dimension driven, feature based, parametric design
tool.  It's got great advantages for designers who can think in 3d,
but the drafting package sucks.  

Runs on just about any UNIX workstation (we use 4D/25's).  Contact
Parametric Techology in Waltham, MA.  Our Canadian VAR is Rand
Technologies (416) 695-2000.
