Hi David,
My usual advice in cases like these is to always *wait*. :) Hexagon
hasn't come out yet, but when it does, I am hoping that there will be
a demo version for test driving it. Then after that, you could
probably tell if you want to switch from pursuing the AMAPI line to
pursuing the Hexagon line. From the looks of the demo videos that
Thomas has been posting, Hexagon appears to be a more user-friendly
application to work with than AMAPI and may indeed be something you
would like to consider.
But then again, if you do NURBS, then AMAPI PRO is probably going to
be your best bet because it is a NURBS modeler.
So my advice would be to wait and see. May is just around the corner. :)
Cheers.
Claudia
