FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Computervision Announces Third Quarter Results 

BEDFORD, Mass., October 23, 1997 -- Computervision Corporation 
(NYSE:CVN) today announced its financial results for the third quarter 
and nine-month period ended September 28, 1997.

For the third quarter, Computervision posted total revenue of$51.1 million, 
which included $42.2 million from its software business as previously 
announced and $8.9 million from the hardware services business sold to CVSI,
Inc. during the quarter.  This compares to revenue of $81.8 million from the 
software business and $41.4 million from the hardware services business in 
the same quarter last year.  Software revenue for the prior year period 
included a $27 million software order from a major customer.

Third quarter operating expenses for the software business were $31.4 
million, down 20 percent compared to the third quarter of 1996.  The net 
loss for the quarter was $17.6 million or $0.28 per share versus net income 
of $13.1 million or $0.20 per share in the third quarter of 1996.

For the nine months ended September 28, 1997, Computervision's total revenue 
was $217.4 million, compared with $355.4 million in the first nine months of
1996.  Software business revenue was $135.1 million compared to $222.1 
million in the prior year period.  The net loss for the nine months ended 
September 28, 1997, before non-recurring charges was $59.3 million or $0.93 
per share versus net income of $31.9 million or $0.49 per share for the same 
period last year.  During the first nine months of 1997, the company recorded
non-recurring charges of $52 million, which were related to actions taken
to improve the operating efficiency of the software business and the 
separation of the CVSI business.  After non-recurring charges, the net loss 
for the 1997 period was $111.3 million or $1.75 per share.

Computervision president and chief executive officer Kathleen A. Cote said: 
"The third quarter is traditionally a weak quarter for the Company.  However,
in the quarter we continued to focus on the restructuring previously 
announced.  We have more work to do and expect to achieve further cost 
reductions as we complete our restructuring initiatives.

"From a product point of view, we were pleased that during the quarter a 
number of corporations continued to make commitments to Computervision's 
technology including Hughes Space and Communications, Vickers Shipbuilding 
and Engineering, Fiat, Toshiba, Mabuchi Motor, Daihatsu Kogyo, Kansei, Rohr 
Industries, and Bosch Siemens," Cote continued. 

As announced on October 16, 1997, the Company is making progress towards 
the establishment of a new credit arrangement.  A $14.5 million bridge 
credit facility was closed with Foothill Capital Corporation on October 16, 
1997, with a portion of the facility being used to repay an existing $8.5 
million bridge loan.  The new facility currently being negotiated with 
Foothill is expected to provide the Company with a $47.5 million credit 
facility at which time the bridge facility will be repaid.
