  3. Hi there,

    Have had multitude of problems in the past but seem to have most complex
    stuff under control now - what are you trying to do, if you post your
    problem there are loads of people here who will help!

  4. Isn't that kind of like asking "how do you tell if a lawyer is lying"? If
    his lips are moving, he's lying. If you're doing complex surfaces in
    SolidWorks, you're having problems. If you're Ed Eaton or Paul Salvador,
    then you quickly find workarounds for your problems. If you're me, you're
    frustrated and looking at other software.

    Or.... how do you tell if a salesman is fishing?

    It looks like a lead-in to a sales pitch. I looked at the website
    – they sell VX software. No mention of SW anywhere. So my first
    impression is that it is a loaded question.

  7. Nice catch! I didn't think to check up on the one doing the posting.

    Tacky, Mr. Panes. You should identify yourself as a VAR when you post this
    kind of stuff.

    Yes, it's too bad because it really is a good question. The problem
    that even Paul S. and Ed E. have are that they and some of the rest of
    us a reaching uncharted ground in SolidWorks. And what I mean by
    uncharted ground is the training materials from the vendor itself.
    Ed's stuff is great and so are Paul examples and Matt''s and Mike
    Wilson and there are a few others out here with good examples but, they
    learned some of the same ways we are. Trial and Error. And any CAD
    system runs into the same problem. Sooner or later you run out of
    advanced documentation. This was a comment that I recently brought up
    to John McEleney at a users conference and he told me they are working
    on it. I'll trade him anyday with the pressure of stockholders versus
    my boss wondering why you can't get 3 fillets to blend out to nothing
    without smiling.
