SaladWorks 2006: It's All About AutoCAD / Autodesk.

As I have posted for years... all SaladWorks Corp really focuses on is
AutoCad / Autodesk. Is it any wonder SaladWorks is now such a POS...
and it's only gonna get worse.


Here is the latest on SaladWorks 2006

"It's About AutoCAD

I was struck by the number of changes to SolidWorks 2006 that mimic
additions to AutoCAD: text in a box (mtext), spell check, tables with
equations and object properties (fields), jog dimensions, design checker
(standards), and so on.

In Us vs. Them news, SolidWorks is changing the name of eDrawings, which
was an accurate but unexciting name, to DWGviewer. Uh huh. They now have
a stable of three DWG-named products to convince AutoCAD users to come
on over, the water's fine:

DWGviewer -- publish and view CAD drawings.
DWGgateway -- translate .dwg files between releases. Next up: the
ability to generate PDF files from inside AutoCAD. DWGEditor -- .dwg
file editor based on IntelliCAD. Bonus: 3-to-1 licensing, which each
license of SolidWorks gives you three licenses of DWGEditor. The
emphasis on DWG is no accident: Mr McEleney sees 2D AutoCAD users
belonging to the prime cohort of new SolidWorks customers. It's a matter
of reassurance.

SolidWorks 2006 is due out in July, or maybe even June."


When you have had more than enough of SaladWorks and want a real
CAD/CAM package from a company that does not give a flying **** what
Autodesk is doing:

How much more pathetic whining are we going to hear from SaladWorks
Product Loyalists before they get off their collective asses and
change to a real CAD/CAM program like they should have years ago.

What a drooler.
I'd wager that it can do NONE of those things.

Put up or shut up, clueless.

 

This Is Spam


Nope it's just the truth... something you can't handle.

PLEASE!!!!!


Get your own group and tell people where it's at. If they want your SPAM
they'll go there.

I think you just like to see your own writings.

I can handle plenty.... X-wife, loss of a leg and another that doesn't
work anymore, people who think that their way is the only way, if your
not doing things their way then you must be stupid or don't know any
better...................... BLAA BLAA

By the way I USE PRO frecken ENGINEER......... SO BITE
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Yes, probably. Most likely. And?

 

jackK, you don't get to define what and what not SPAM on Usenet is, as
you're too clueless.

To help yourself become unclueless on such matters, suggest you look up
the definition of what SPAM on the Usenet is.

Hint: "Breidbart Index".

HTH

You go grrl!

HAND

 

No. Nada. Nope.

 

BLAA BLAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I got ya girl hangin' BLAA!!!!!!!!

Thanks for having an open mind. Wish we had more posters with your
willingness to seriously look at other alternatives to SaladWorks.
Without a doubt this would make SaladWorks a much better product.
The SaladWorks Product Loyalist mentality that permeates both
newsgroups does nothing to improve SaladWorks.


When you get the VX CD and have spent sometime learning VX please
consider posting at www.cadchat.com in the VX Forum. While VX has a much
better architecture then SaladWorks and has been built correctly from
the ground up as a seamless, unified, hybrid modeler there are lots of
improvements to VX's UI that are still needed and will make VX easier
and more enjoyable to use.

Specifics on where you think VX can improve after you start using VX and
work your way through the VX .pdf tutorials would be very helpful to me
and to others. The more specific and the more critical the better as
far as I'm concerned.

So it can do so much less?

LOL ....... AND they need new kernels all the time
and perhaps hundreds of patches & bug fixes ...

 

No clues, eh?

 

Let me make sure I'm reading this correctly:

You're criticizing Solidworks for focusing their marketing towards
AutoCAD users, and making the interface more easy to learn for people
switching over?

Based on sales numbers, don't you think VX could learn a thing or two
about marketing and product presentation from Solidworks?

This thread is comparable to Fadal trying to bad mouth Haas' sales and
marketing strategies.

 

You can call it whatever you want, but the FACT of the matter is, it is
NOT spam. Suit yourself though, the rest of the Usenet (tintrotu) knows
better.

Wrong.

It's (partially) off topic posting, at best.

And there is a totally bullet proof solution to your problem, cry baby.

Nobody is holding a gun to your head and making you read it, so don't!

HTH
HAND

 

Yea, turning yer monitor upside down and shakin it to erase something is
tedious at best.

Bing

 

Not really. Haas may win the sales and marketing strategies, but Fadal
builds better machines.

 

It's an endless repeat of the same old BS.
After all, it's not like he can actually use it,
answer specific questions, follow up .....
