Death of a group?

Moron !!!
YOU STARTED YET ANOTHER NEW THREAD.

This was in reply to NOBODY (other than all the
voices in your head)!!

 

(Waves at idiots who post to alt.machines.cnc).

 

I have. Many times. He's still utterly clueless, a non-user
of any of it.

 

Cliff, here we use SW in manufacturing, using third party software to
accomplish the task (Alphacam). Of course, this is not a "direct"
process, but it works.

Interoperability with existing software was one of the point that took
us to choose SW instead of other CAD/CAE/CAM.

 

I suspect that you use Sandy Livingstone's AlphaCam for manufacturing
and SW for design, etc <G>.

Which was the pre-existing (I assume) software?

 

Jon, remember a few months back when you made all of these exact same
claims about HSMWorks? How did that turn out? Did they knock Mastercam
of the top of the podium yet?

"Who I'm working with to deliver what truly will be the next
generation of CAM: www.hsmworks.com" -Jon Banquer-

"I understand why your shop did not go with HSMWorks. We have a lot of
work to do." -Jon Banquer-

"Jon is not affiliated with HSMWorks ApS in any way and that we cannot
control what people are writing on the web. Anybody can get
evaluation licenses of HSMWorks and test it themselves. I hope this
clarifies any doubt." - HSMWorks ApS -

 

I agree with ya...I use OE as well <cringe> (but there is a reason on my
corporate owned PC)...

I saw it download 55 messages this morning, and then you can watch it start
counting down, leaving me with 22....Filters are a great thing and if
everyone ignores the obvious "known" people, and just kills them this would
be a better place. I personally like the newsgroups better than the web
based sites..

A) not graphic intensive, loads are faster and I can quickly see any posts I
want to read and most times am done viewing before most people can get their
browser and login going....

B) (most important to me) Low profile - My company tracks internet usage
and newsgroup accounts are not tracked. Even if they were, they simply
connect, download messages and disconnect. This means in than 10 seconds I
get all my info from all my various newsgroups right into my reader. With a
web based group everytime you change a subject, reply, read, refresh,
etc.... it's address and page gets logged on the server. Now, most
companies have better things to do than monitor, but I just don't like big
brother watching in the event I take 5 minutes to write
something.....oh...like this.

C) I like having my SWx Topic folder quickly accessible on the left folder
group. Any message or tips I like and find interesting, in half a second I
drag and drop into my collection. I have messages and tips going back years
from the likes of:

(looking)

Rob Rodriguez
Gunrunnerjohn
Wayne Tiffany
Matt Lombard
Sporkman
Anna Wood
Bob Z
Devon Sowell

and a multitude of others that I've gotten stuff out of over the years
whether their help was directed to me or not....Which is what this group is
(or was) about...

I hope people stick it out...

If they don't - I for one thank all of the relevant posters over the years
that have made my job easier...Thank you.

I'll be here even if my reader downloads 100 messages and screens it out to
1....There is that one person I might learn something from (or be able to
help them in turn)

Again, my thanks,

Scott

Ok, I finally have to chime in here.

I refuse to be pushed out. I use plain and simple OE, I filter the garbage,
I wish people would stop replying to those that I have filtered out, I want
the world to sing...

I think there are still valuable nuggets here and I am willing to wade
through the muck to discover them, and am willing to spread a few myself. I
have always liked this newsgroup better than the forums because it's the
wild wild west - guns are a blazing at times. But the benefits still
outweigh the bad. Besides, I don't like being pushed around by those that
speak of that which they know not.

this guy <3's solidworks.



It's only CAD...

 

I'm with you Wayne! As long as there are at least a few of us that don't
give up, we should be able to keep the group alive.

I couldn't agree with you more. I too come from a Pro/E background
and have often looked here for answers.

Ah, but then there's the clueless one and those who feel it is their
duty to engage him. Do they actually believe that if they put him
down well enough he will go away and they will be hailed as heros or
something? C'mon guys. It all comes down to somebody's tag line I
once read:

DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. IT ONLY MAKES THEM GROW.

Oops .... How did you get to post there & under what exact name?

 

so who is in control of this ng? is there a way it could be moderated?
Or could someone create a new (somewhat moderated) where real users could
migrate?

Looks like we're going to see many SolidWorks users make the move to
Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology because it has the tools that
SolidWorks doesn't have to work with imported data.
