Yeah it does. Airbus's conglomeration of different countries using different versions of the same software is root of their problem. Apparently for two installations of CATIA (Dassault) to successfully share designs, the application software and the related configuration tables have to match down to the bit level. I work in the industry and we are constantly fighting this battle. And it looks like Airbus is losing theirs.
Why don't they just use CADkey/KeyCreator?...
