Yes -- ACIS dominates in terms of unit installations. Currently, there are
more than 870,000 ACIS seats, compared to an estimated 60,000 Parasolid
seats, according to Spatial Technology. However, most of the established
CAD solid modeling vendors are now using either Parasolid or their own
"home-grown" modeling engine. Spatial seems to be targeting high-volume
markets such as Autodesk’s AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop, Baystate’s
CADKEY, and Ashlar’s Vellum 3D.
