Dear Solidworks.

Can you be any slower? Why not take a year off of designing a flashy
UI and make your program more stable.

Love,
Me

 

Sorry. SW is used by designers, but it's sold to demi-competent
managers. Gotta keep those bells & whistles a-coming. Oooh! Shiny!

 

Dilbert's manager rules!

 

solidworks has the potential to be a decent program.

it is a shame that it isn't and will never be.

bob z. will not have to use swx some day and that will be a day of
immense celebration.

p.s. death to solidworks

 

I no longer care which software lives or dies.

Once apon a time I used a CAD program and tried to give suggestions on
where design software was going in easy 3D usage and low cost
(compared to ProE), and I was ignored repeatedly. It taught me to be
quick to add other software to "do the job". I didn't hesitate to get
SolidWorks when it was needed, and I won't hesitate when a need driven
by a customer pushes me in some other direction.

There's no upside to sticking around with people or software who have
their feet in concrete.

No kidding, I "upgraded" to SW 2008 and it's unbelievably slow and
flaky, buggy, crashy. Disappointing but hardly surprising.
