Yikes! Reading and comprehending this message was more difficult than debugging autoiso output.

Not to poke fun at one of the subscribers, but, sheesh, next time please

more paragraphs and less --------------------'s.

Rebis is good because of it's widespread use and "tie-in" (if I can coin a term) to AutoCAD. I agree with the percieved snobbishness of some PDS/PDMS users, it's a sort of prestige status not dissimilar to those that use Linux as an operating system.

Anyway, it's still the person behind the design, not the software, that makes a difference. The mega-bucks industry that sells, installs and services hardware and software created for people like us try to make us think that the bestest system will make you a better designer.

We've had this argument here before, maybe it's time to resurrect it for the newcomers.

Paul, trolling back to my trusty T-square with graphite-stained fingers

> in response to rebis---not being able to suport a large plant---first off
as rebis says--if your model get over 25meg---break it up---plus you need 512 memory--thats not that expensive!---if you follow the quidelines from

rebis---on how to use the software----it does work----------and
well!-------------you dont use rebis as if you were using pds or
pdms--------you have a rwa file---------and---------models of different

systems or groups of systems that are then xrefed in the rwa---------------it seems that the guys i know who have used pds then use rebis always talk it down-------one guy--even after his lead told him not to put all the pipe on one model did it anyway--because thats the way pds does

it-------------------READ THE MANUAL----FOLLOW DIRECTIONS--rebis will run
well---------------and works----------if you follow the way it was designed
to be used------------------not the way you use pds!

> in rebis when---using equipment models from vendors all you have to do is
place a flange on the vendors equipment models flange and you will have--connectivity
> autocad operates different than microstation----------but if you use it
the way it was designed-----with xrefs--paper space model space ect.---------it works fine----most guys who come over from pds--to rebis just cant understand--paper space model space-----------its like a mental block--------------i have been---over the past 7 years on many jobs in several fields who have used rebis----with all kinds of success---it you operate the software correctly---------it works!
