While SolidWorks Is Coughing Up A Hairball...

"VX has Class A surfacing which allows it to handle complex tangency
problems which other systems find difficult."

"VX has historically been a very impressive tool and is a pioneer of the
hybrid modelling approach that many of the mainstream modelling systems
are now adopting. The ability to work with a true mixture of surface and
solid geometry is a real bonus for those working with complex forms, but
the real benefit is the editability of those features (whatever there
particular type)."

"So, whether you're looking to make the move from 2D to 3D, thinking about
moving to an advanced modelling system or in the market for a CAD/CAM
system, then I think you'd have to be either very cash rich or clinically
insane not to seriously consider VX and all that it has to offer"

Clue: A fillet is an arc that is tangent to two other
entities, one on each end.

HTH

 

I'm tired of your VX spam...

 

He may get tired of it ... not any good anymore ....
just like everything else that he's never used that
he's hyped.

He's so clueless he probably has no idea what
such things are used for.

 

"Al Dean visited new UK reseller, Informed Data Systems to find out
what was new ..."

<Snicker>

They gave him a 10 minute demo and some sales lit I suppose ......
Even your hype is second or third hand.

 

If you're going to quote "news", make sure you quote the important parts for
those that have to either recommend software to their company, or purchase
it out of their pocket.

" There are two entry points, VX Mechanical and VX Modeller. The Mechanical
variant includes all of the solid modelling tools and draughting while the
Modeller bundle offers the solid and surface modelling functionality (but
without draughting. Both bundles include all of the translators available.
Moving up the price book, the VX Designer bundle includes all the surface
and solid modelling (which includes rendering, sheet metal etc) tools,
draughting and again, the translators but with healing tools.

The next stage splits the bundles into industry or process workflows. The VX
Mould and Die bundle includes all of the designer options, plus modelling,
the mould and die tools including the library, core/cavity tools, slide,
electrode and cooling channel design. The VX Machinist bundle includes all
that's available in the VX Mechanical bundle along with 2.5 and 3-axis tools
and associated verification/simulation and post processor tools.

The top of the tree is the 'all-singing all dancing' VX End to End bundle
includes everything, such as the Solid and surfacing modelling tools,
draughting, mould and die tool and the 3-axis machining functionality. If
you then need the more advanced 4- and 5-axis CAM tools, these are available
at extra cost."

" It's often the case that we'll pay the same number of pounds sterling that
our North American friends pay in dollars - for example, the list price for
SolidWorks is $4,995 across the pond, while our list price is £4,995 - which
at today's exchange rate is effectively double."

" The two entry-level products (VX Mechanical and VX Modeller) are currently
available in the UK for £1,500. The VX Designer module is available for
£2,600. The VX Mould and Die and VX Machinist bundles cost £4,000. The full
VX End to End suite is just £6,500."

 

Jon's a one man promo team, and must get reimbursement every time he
starts a thread on VX.

A sad sad way to try to earn some dollars. What a waste

 

Wow some usefull info about VX what do you know.
Thanks for that.

That's why there is a link so *you* can decide what's *important to you*.

Glad my post got you to the info you needed.

Useful to you but perhaps not useful to others not in the UK

..... that's why the link was provided.

He was just pointing out (again?) that you are a clueless
idiot I think.

OTOH Your reading noncomprehension skills are indeed
justly flamed.
