    Large Fresnel lens

    For the UV problem, I agree of course :-) But why not use a cylindrical fresnel lens with a bunch of glass or PC cases in prism shape. You could in this way obtain a sort of greenhouse...

    True type font in excel

    We use a special sheet to trace mechanical parts along the process of controling dimensions. To add special symbol of dimensioning, we use a special true type font. But unfortunately our subcontractors do not have it. Is there a way to add the font in the sheet like in word?

    If Solid Works is so good...

    I am using daily SW, it is a good 3D modeler, and the surface tools are becoming better and better. If you design parts and assembly without strange shapes, perhaps you could try a simplier soft. I have used a lot ProE and I think that SW his a very good challenger.
