COMPUTERVISION ANNOUNCES NEW CADDS 5 SOLUTION FOR PRODUCTION ASSEMBLY
DESIGN APPLICATIONS

SOLUTION BROADENS ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC PRODUCT DEFINITION TOOLS

BEDFORD, MASS., MAY 14, 1996 -- Computervision Corporation (NYSE:CVN) today
announced a new CADDS 5 software solution intended for production assembly
design automation applications across all industries. The CV Production
Assembly Design features a full-function hybrid modeler as well as
software for comprehensive assembly modeling and detailing.

"This solution is ideally suited to individuals who are either designing or
detailing assemblies or subassemblies," said Mike Smith, CADDS 5 product
manager for Computervision. "Its price point provides an especially good
value given the high level of functionality. We packaged and priced it to
help users in mid- or small-sized companies gain access to the power of
Electronic Product Definition."

Computervision's Electronic Product Definition strategy is a proven
approach to developing, delivering, and maintaining products throughout
the entire product life cycle. Electronic Product Definition allows every
part of an organization -- design, development, manufacturing, and support
-- to work in an optimized collaborative environment.

HYBRID MODELING, OTHER FEATURES

This package supports powerful parametric wire-frame, surface and solid
modeling capabilities for modeling new geometry, and explicit modeling
capabilities so that users can easily integrate data from other CAD
systems into their design project. This flexibility allows users to create
integrated hybrid assemblies.

CV Production Assembly Design also features table-driven design
capabilities, to expedite family-of-parts development; parametric
multipart design, an assembly-oriented parametric modeling capability; and
Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) technology for creating sculptured
and free-form surface models. Also included are facilities for detailing
and shading of models, and for detecting interferences in assembly
models.
