The VX Forum on www.cadchat.com was started a few days ago and already Why not? If not a lot of people want it what does that mean? Probably take a good year to get it going. You seem to Not at all, it's none of my business... Go for it. I have absolutely no problem with Michael (you may be confusing me with Cliff). I had a few conversations off-line with him at the time he publicly quit the Rhino forum, I understand perfectly his reasons, and I have no problem with them at all, only the style in which it was done, which I have already posted. My feeling is if you're gong to go, just go, no need to make a public scene about it, unless the real reason is just to call attention to yourself. I have no problem with you either, otherwise I wouldn't even respond to your posts. I certainly don't feel threatened at all. I just like to throw in a little perspective to your otherwise one-sided and occasionally ridiculous arguments. Actually I respect Michael's criticisms of the software more than yours, as he actually does use the stuff to make parts and his observations are based on real experiences. You seem to spend a lot of time hyping one program or another at the expense of some other programs, do you actually make anything with them? And your point is... ? --Mitch
BTW, how do you develop a VAR network when you sell software for That's just the point - why do you need an "official" VAR network? That just makes the program more expensive, restricts competition and often forces you to have to deal with one person responsible for your area, whether you like them or not. With the Rhino distribution model, you can buy anywhere in the US, and get your support from anyone in the US (even if you din't buy it from them), including the home office. Nobody's geting rich selling or supporting Rhino. A lot of people (like me) do it because they simply like to do it and like the software and the company. A complete mCAD packge it's not - never will be - that's not it's intention. Again, wrong. This tool already exists in partial form as a bonus tool you can plug in to V3. That means that it's being tested for V4 inclusion. BTW, how do you know what will be in V4? Got a crystal ball?
That your a Rhino product loyalist and you refuse to see that Rhino and it's owner (Bob McNeel) have some very serious flaws. That your not exactly objective when it comes to Rhino or people that criticize it or the newsgroup that McNeel fosters. See if you can find the Margaret Becker post where she has the chutzpah to say that she welcomes discussion of competeing products to Rhino. What a crock of shit that was. jon
Well, poor clueless came back. With more blurbs from ads. I suppose he had problems with IGES & VX ... so now he's touting ICEM as the better breadbox .... not that he has any clues there either it seems.
Yep, if that means being happy with a product and that it's fun to use and has made me more money w/respect to its purchase price than any other software product I own, then yes, I'm certainly a product loyalist... and you refuse to see that Bob's a great guy. Had the pleasure of having dinner with him in December, together with a small group of 'product loyalists" from Europe. As far as Rhino flaws go, every program has flaws. As a daily Rhino user, *I'm* certainly in a far better position than *you* to know exactly what they are. But that doesn't prevent me from successfully using the program in my everyday work to do exactly what I need. And, you, of course, are the pinnacle of objectivity... LOL. And again, you are confusing McNeel's privately held newsgroup server whose primary purpose is to provide support for its users with some public rant-all-ya-want forum like AMC. Most people who come to the Rhino newsgroup rather like the atmosphere. Not that I'm really fond of quoting Cliff, but as he says, "you are confused"... I may be beginning to believe him. --Mitch
Looked like you were looking for help. And then failed to respons to the one post (asking about prices was it?) I loved this bit from poor clueless: [ I'm just starting to work with a bunch of imported surface data from other modelers. Often times these parts are modeled very poorly and it's often very hard to find all the small gaps in the edges. One tool that VX has that I really like is the Show All Open Edges tool. What I like is that you are presented with a dialog box. The dialog box lets you cycle through all the edge gaps and zoom in on any of these edge gaps when you push a button to do so. VX describes their Show All Open Edges tool this way: <snip copied blurb> ] Now, how's he going to use the new VX (free) demo to fix anything? IIRC HE CANNOT SAVE THE PART !!! Poor clueless ... caught yet again. Pretending to be able to use something as well as to have his famed "bad data".
Well I'll be.... I guess Bob's Your Uncle ! ;>) "As far as Rhino flaws go, every program has flaws. As a daily Rhino user, *I'm* certainly in a far better position than *you* to know exactly what they are" I'm smart enough to use a more complete modeler. Your not. I'm beginning to believe you and "The Virus" are meant for each other. ;>) Any chance you can give "The Virus" a job cause for years no one wanted to hire "The Virus" even though he had his resume posted all over the internet. I wonder why ? ;>) jon
"The page you have requested has either moved or does not exist." AND you had reading comprehension problems again, right? "However, only the best systems can produce surfaces that can be joined with C2 continuity under a wide range of conditions. Pro/Engineer Wildfire maintains C2 continuity between adjacent surfaces under more conditions than SolidWorks 2004." My, but that seemed a bit dated ..... HTH
You are an idiot. You don't actually use anything anyway. Probably never have & never will. You just copy ads & things from what others have posted over the years. And your spelling checker is still busted <VBG>.
Mitch, We can only assume that, as usual, poor clueless was really clueless & full of his usual endless BS yet again. After all, it's been some time and he did not "put up" it seems. Did he even TRY to send you back an IGES file with it all fixed with his magic software (claimed) demo? I trust that all know jb does not even actually even have to have a limited or canned demo to get confused or to copy & post things from ads or vendor Sites (or from the posts of others). Once again clueless jb eats the dust ...... LOL ....
LMAO !!!! He's going to make screen shots (or claimed ones) of his demo (with other demos software no doubt) and send bitmaps as foorp that he did something to fix "small gaps" that he says cannot be easily seen or found. Sounds to me like he has no clue how to make an IGES file to send back (or is just lying yet again) <VBG>. Anybody here have much luck machining a *picture* of a 3D object in Rhino or anything? He's lost it again I think. IF he ever had a a clue to begin with.
