I'll have to work through the 650 pages.

I use CATIA v5 every day, first released in 1998. It's sharp and crusty and huge, but does everything (with the right license).

Crusty it is. The fillet tool STILL totally sucks after 27 years, and I STILL frequently find myself needing to define surface geometry, fillet the surface, and use that to split the solid rather than just directly filleting the solid, in order to get the same type of fillet intersections that you get when you machine the part.

Funny, I'm French, and I know people who developed a bit of it.

If you really push CATIA hard, you can get it to crash in French, or at least crash with a poorly translated error message.

"The Document cannot be unloaded because he is dirty" was one of my favorites.

Me too. But I really looking forward to it.
