2006 SP.0 available

So far so good. installed only sw2006 and photoworks.
Installed as new installation.
I have tested several things what stopped me from going to sw 2005 (Im still
working with sw 2004 sp5. very stable on my system).

no problem with old dawing converted to new.
large printing goes ok (was big problem in 2005 0.0)
I tested for 6 hours now with sweeps,lofts surfaces , renderings, drawings.
No crashes, no quirky drawing views.
no performance slow down.
I will keep on doing some more tests the next month before considering to
move over to 2006, but so far it feels really good.

How do you find performance?

 

I dont do benchmarks but it seems the same or better.

You are a brave man, I feel worn out with SWX 2005. I installed at SP0,
had to as a client did. In hindsight, buying another box to run SWX2005
or dual booting would have been a much better option.

I still have 11 SPR's "open" going back to February. There would have
been more but some of my bug reports are now answered with “it has been
fixed in SWX 2006”, implying there will be no fix in 2005.

If a client of mine installs 2006 so will I, on a new machine this time.
I hope SP5 or 5.1 for 2005 will solve some of my issues and will
continue to use 2005 for all new projects (where I work for clients
without SolidWorks 2006) at least until SP4.0 for 2006 is available.

They biggest improvement to 2005 was SolidWorks RX at least it was
easier to file bug reports. Although the majority of SolidWorks users I
know do not bother to file bug reports--- they just find workarounds.

Geeze --- sorry to sound so negative — I really do like SolidWorks! It
sure beats 2d or pencil and paper.

I wonder if "the good fight" will be made into a book.

I cant wait till 2008. Hillary. Lester in 2012.

 

Would you consider Christopher Walken as your vice president?

I just saw a commercial for Aetna health insurance Medicare. where he was
the star. They did a great job with his makeup. They gave him horn rims.
He looks unusually chubby.

Foof, Medicare is hard he said
