    Did you do any searches? I haven't looked for any so the only place I've seen them is at VanSant. Hey, did you get a chance to play around with the BendTech EZ yet? Pretty nice huh. I have been playing around with the BendTech EZ 3-D version and it is awesome!! Just for the helluvit, I took a look at the twisted plumbing in my basement while sitting at the computer and I entered the dimensions in the 3-D format and, voila, it produced the same bends and you can rotate in any direction. This stuff is slick!! I have spoken to Cris (the 20/20SSI owner developer) and he is one of the nicest people. Helped me work out some issues I was having with my own computer.

    Not to be too intrusive, but why exactly do you need a bending protractor? With the basic software you have, you shouldn't need one. Further, if you stepped up to the 3-D version, I cannot see why you would ever need a protractor! BTW, did you know if you became a member of offroadfabnet.com you could upgrade to 3-D for only $90 since you already bought the EZ! Just a thought. I'm trying to save you money and a headache at the same time. I am interested in finding out what specific needs the protractor will apply to.
