Mostly the problem of finding the time between all of my other 
responsibilities to even poke around in it.

I got as far as trying to create a sketch, but it wouldn't let me select a 
work plane.

I should probably work through a tutorial, but these often just show you how 
to do extremely simple things, so aren't worth the effort when you are trying 
to evaluate the software.

In the long run, what I'm trying to do is produce thousands of variations on a 
theme.  In cladding the world's funkiest metal buildings, you deal with a 
unique part (or assembly) for every component of the cladding system.  
Panel_A != Panel_B

I'm looking at possibly driving this automation using pro-e, pro-toolkit, and 
hopefully Perl (makes great glue and is much faster to write than C.)

Another possible bonus from going to Wildfire (if it is feasible) is the 
ability to chuck the Windows box out the Window.
