Then you get the cloud jerks in there and a whole new universe of deception and smoke and mirrors is added to the basic software question set and isn’t THAT fun.
Good software compromised before the buyer ever looks at it because of the software industries standard philosophy towards sales.
Its like OK, how’s this one going to waste my time? I have been through so much junk with CAM that my defenses and a smidgen of hostility are allready there before I even talk to anyone anymore. You are right though about the what do they have to hide perception on the part of user/buyers. They all have problems and shopping for software is just a royal PITA.
I have been shopping for CAM now for almost nine months and nothing stands out as being worth full ticket price. It is hard to single a company out for most egregious behavior here as a lot depends on what VAR you talk to. Then you get the ones like Camworks recently did to me and give a good upfront cost but OUTRAGEOUS yearly fees. Then you get the ones that give you their “best” deal and it changes depending on your resistance so you are trained to never say yes without saying a lot of no’s first. I guess they figure if the buyer decision is based in large part on price they better get why you need it in there first. See a demo, see a sales guys,do a month long trial and on and on and never a price up front without a hassle. And then you get to CAM products and it is even worse. Now I am only counting ones I have looked at but NX,SE,SW Inventor have all fallen into the make me tell you category. With the exception of ZW3D, Alibre and Mechsoft products I have had to dig. Sometime it is necessory to see something is interfering with the cover itself Make a cover transperent to see what is inside
It is very common to give 1mm depth & SW is giving this optionĬopying all associated files along with the assembly in one folder.

I have following issus in which I hope to get answer or even ready to live with that, because the other functionalities are saving my time. SOLIDWORKS is a heavily visual program, so making sure that it is using. in different parametric CAD packages that includes SE v19 in 2007 and then SW till now, coming back to SE’s new capabilites is so thrilling and I am sure SE going to beat SW in coming years. Dear Matt, I am new in a company having a history of more than 100 yeares, they tryed Catia recently and now switching to SE.
