  • design-engine.com is pretty cool industry blog

  • Thanks for the #1 spot Paul! Now it looks as though I will need to get my butt back in gear and post! I’ve been on an intensive contract job on the West Coast helping set up an ERP system that uses Autodesk Inventor/iLogic as an engine. Unfortunately I cannot post details yet…..but I do need to get back in gear and post!
