OK. I had a conversation with someone at Spaceclaim today. And here is what i found out:
LT and LTX versions :
- LT, LTX, and Pro all have the same modeling and dimensioning tools.
- LT does not have import/export of Rhino 3DM files.
- LTX does have import/export of Rhino 3DM files. This version was created in partnership with McNeel for the Rhino users. It can only be purchased through an authorized Rhino reseller.
- LT and LTX are supported only by e-mail and forums, and Spaceclaim will not provide tech support for versions older than the current release
- Version 2008 is planned for release during April 2008, so if you buy LT ot LTX now, you will receive the 2008 upgrade for free
- There is no upgrade for LT and LTX versions. You get upgrades during the first 12 months, but after that your only option is a discount towards the Pro software. Or you can buy a new license of LT or LTX.
Pro version :
- Has full access to the API, and offers live tech support
- SpaceClaim Pro is $1,795.00 for the software + $545.00 for the first 12 months maintenance.
- The data exchange module is $450.00 for the software + $150.00 for the first 12 months maintenance.
- SC Pro has an annual maintenance charge of $545, but from what I've heard you get upgrades to the next version as long as your subscription is current
So that's everything in a nutshell. I plan to start demo'ing it this weekend...
