Concrete Documentation Suggestions

We have an opportunity to have some input, and I want to take
advantage of it.

If you have a suggestion or an idea about how to improve
documentation, I want to hear from you. Follow this link and leave a
comment.

I'm looking for practical, viable suggestions, and maybe identifying
what you think the problems are. (insane rants will be removed)

No jb AKA "Haywood", etc. eh?

 

Why does that try to change registry (& perhaps "home page") values?

I might be new to all these SW blogs, but who is this Cliff and Jon i keep
hearing about?

*** Jon Banquer is a self-proclaimed genius who believes that CAD and CAM are
the same thing, that engineers are evil and stupid, that machinists should
change engineered models when it suits them, and that he is the sole arbiter of
truth on the internet.

Cliff Huprich is Jon’s alter ego evil twin who follows Jon around and harrasses
him all the time. The two of them together have made unmoderated forums nearly
useless because of the high percentage of off-topic posts.

So jb is always off-topic?

Guess I'll be leaving out a suggestion for a permutated index (if they
lack one), eh?
That really was a handy thing back in ANVIL 4000 IMHO.

Matt Lombard credible?

Where's the head of Black Dragon Heavy Industries when you need him.

How about the comp.cad.solidworks moderator.

ok good on you matt...
if anyone has half a head up SW and stands a chance of being heard its
you
if they were genuinely interested in improving stuff they are quite
capable of carrying out their own official survey IMHO however so I
dont really hold out much hope.

As for input I've given enough clues about what to do already without
writing a do list
Its all been there for people who wanted to listen
If they are completely at a loss for ideas they can go to the Alias
help notes via the link I posted a few days ago and look at the
StudioToolConcepts and Technical surfacing PDF
I dont think its too hard for a reasonably bright individual to see
the difference in detail and helpfulness


BTW SW managrment does suck and the new guy had better be a brisk new
broom...

and PS i'm ALF ;o) and you didn't mind me saying "I am with you buddy"
and "it stinks"

cheers

 

Even a tight ass like you should be smart enough to spend $25 on
quality video training.

An intro manual well-defining technical terms for newbies
might help noobs & the clueless like jb grasp what such
programs are intended for/to do. If they can read .. Oops ..
did I mention jb?
Also a bit on the programming philosophy from the
authors/programmers of such programs might speed
up comprehension. An overview of intent & practices
used. Oncce you can see a little into the programmer's
heads learning the application is much faster, IMHO.

 

You claimed you bought his book, right?
Or was that just another ad for a free demo?

 

"We have an opportunity to have some input, and I want to take
advantage of it."

Speaking of opportunity fucktard shouldn't you be asking for
suggestions on how to improve your SolidWorks Bible book first?

Here's a clue oh clueless one: How about showing examples of how to
use construction geometry to impart design intent in a sketch. Some
how you missed this and a lot of other important issues in your
SolidWorks Bible. For all your talk about design intent it's amazing
how few examples you actually give in the SolidWorks Bible on design
intent. Why is that fucktard?

Perhaps I should start making a list of all the improvements that your
SolidWorks Bible really needs. It would be a very long list. If I do
start making a list it seems like the place to do it is right here
since your really not interested in hearing opinions on your bullshit
blog from those who know what a lying fucktard you really are and how
little you know about machining anything.

Just because I have said your book is good doesn't mean there is not
room for massive improvement... especially because you have the *only
book* on SolidWorks that is any good. Lucky for you others have chosen
video rather than books otherwise your book would have to stand up to
competition where there presently is none. SolidProfessor videos just
smoke your book. From what I've seen of the free myigetit videos they
do as well. I hope to finish the SolidProfessor videos I just
purchased ( $600 Professional Package) in the next 2 weeks. When I do,
I'll spend the $25 for the myigetit SolidWorks 2007 course and see if
that smokes your SolidWorks Bible as well. Based on what I have read
here and on Engineering Tips I get the feeling the myigetit SolidWorks
course is going to fucking blow your SolidWorks Bible away.

It's time to get your own book in order before telling SolidWorks
Corp. how to improve. Seems like the whole idea maybe to get them to
hire you. Sadly you would probably fit right in with all the other
assholes at SolidWorks Corp. who don't understand how to machine
anything... let alone write decent documentation.

Probably assumed that the reader had clue #1.

 

What is your design intent?
One hole or two?

 

Solidworks is a really good machining program, is it? A book
full of g-codes?

 

That you have clue #1 I assume.

 

$25 per I heard.

 

Got the free demo, did you?

Is the first $25 "Turning on the computer"?
The next 10 lessons (all seem to assume you
already have clue #2 -- which clearly you do not)
will be $250 .....
What do you know? I can count !!!
That must be a clue.
