Re: PDS and PDMS

Dear OMID,

I agree, as an ex-user of both packages I would say that PDMS has the edge in user friendliness and openness but both perform exceptionally well if administered and set up properly AND both payback well when projects are large. But I do have a small correction to what you wrote...

...CADWorx is from COADE www.coade.com, CADPIPE is from AEC Design Group www.cadpipe.com and AutoPLANT is now from Bentley www.bentley.com

Eko - this is the nature of the beast - these system were never designed to be simple or easy - they were (are) designed to be comprehensive.

Vornel

  similar PDS as you know uses Oracle so it has a very powerful database, the major difference between them is about PDS is american and PDMS is a british software so to be honest, it is matter of your client and environment which will tell you which software you should use, if they are using PDS you'd better use PDS, none of them are Autocad base, Autoplant from former Rebis and Cadpipe from COADE are cad base but PDMS and PDS are not cad base and you know PDS needs microstation.
