How's your workflow?
How often someone is working on same files together?
Do you need realtime sync across network?

Windows network and file system by default is slow and inefficient.
Do everything to reduce file transfer.

Frederick_Law

LOL IT lock out engineering software.
They can do other thing then whitelist.
If all they know is white and black list, you need new IT.

And the screenshot I show is AD employee responding to forum questions.
Same employee could and did give solution and SPR or even fix same day or within a week.

SW employee only come and delete post.
We did had a few great one in SW forum.

Frederick_Law

Physically, yes.
Mentally, probably not

And I told wife she can buy one the week before. Not anymore.

Problem is, they try to get money from their own cutting patterns.
So anyone who can draw and design pattern is their enemy.
Which is 90% of their customer

Yeap, tried and failed. This time. https://www.inputmag.com/style/cricut-grants-existing-crafting-machines-unlimited-lifetime-uploads-after-policy-backlash Over the weekend, the Cricut company announced it was releasing an update that would limit how often Cricut owners could use their machines’ per...

Depends on your workflow.
Look into "Detailing Mode".
It save model geometry in drawing file so user can open drawing only.

They're not undercutting market. They try to maintain price and stock for gamer. Currently gamer can't get video card. Of course there is nothing to stop anyone from reselling at higher price. nVidia try to cripple video card so they have lower mining speed then their mining card. https://betanews.c...

They can't even give you a SPR

I am curious what everyone's opinion of "Generative Design" is or even what we think the definition is. I don't mean the overly hyped marketing version of this but a more humble practical version of software creating useful geometry for you. Where do we think this will go? Generative put ...

Talking about circular pattern:

SW don't know how to count?
Is it 4 or 3?

Frederick_Law

Yes and yes. No ASM, all part. All start with same template. Insert part with sketch in new part to make model. Master Sketch workflow. Problem is not measurement. Problem is SW extrude the part with an extra edge which mean the 2 face are not "inline". Hence I went and measure. Found out ...

Frederick_Law

Yes, all the cards went to mining. Lots of them did went to China. Where Government subsidize to keep electricity price low.

Try to buy direct from nVidia or AMD.

Read the thread of the FeatureCam customers being forced over to Fusion.

I did read that before I reply.

Incase you missed it, AD also stripe down free Fusion and get another beating.

Frederick_Law

Well, they did not kick all the users out :p

And look at who reply to post:

And please read those post.

Oh, RDP got between SW and graphic driver.
I believe some had it setup successfully.
It's in one of the thread.

The Master is linked to customer part. Change constrain of the short line from perpendicular with another line to inline with the long line "fix" it. I'll try to split it to partial. LOL Pack n Go don't want to include parts in assembly. Once I delete a few things in the sketch, the proble...

RDP is great for some things but CAD usage isn't one IMO. There is usually no graphics acceleration so sketching and model manipulation is sluggish. And many of our users have slower internet connections so even most movements just dragging windows around can be sluggish. I use it for working on se...

Since I use multiple versions, I need to be very careful on file reference. After copying all the files to new location, I need to reference them so they don't open in old folder and save new version there. After copying all files, I'll rename the original folder so SW can't find it. Open assemblies...

Frederick_Law

Create work folder for each version for all SW files: template, style, etc: folder.jpg You'll need to remember to use files with correct version so you don't "contaminate" them. Backup to another drive is highly recommended. Set Data and Temp folders: SWInstallFolder-01.jpg Work folder: SW...

Use config with suppress feature.

I still can't get an answer as to when the new Structure Systems that's supposed to replace Weldments will be ready for production use...I was more than slightly annoyed that they finally added the ability to use a spline (which I considered a bug), but only added it to SS, not Weldments because th...

Is the key pressing more ''smooth''? Not smooth at all. It give a positive "click" so you know you did pressed the key. Other soft keyboard might not get the "key" if you type too fast. It would be "fatal" in a game :shock: And, this thing is loud. Loud as a typewriter...

I think the point that user did not address is the fact that the 3DE platform was neither designed nor intended to be used as a large public forum so using it for such an application is either a poorly thought out choice or purposeful for some intended outcome, which I also mention in the post.

Remote desktop doesn't work well, graphics performance is not good for one and it can be sluggish overall. RDT or similar connection reduce bandwidth because it only "live stream" the screen. Instead of all the files. So user don't need powerful computer. Done properly they can use a tabl...

VPN is just a secure login, connection. Pulling all those data across the network is. wrong. If user need to pull 100MBs constantly to do their work, it is wrong even on LAN. Either put all data on user's "home" "remote" computer or setup something like Remote Desktop. When you G...

In any multi-user environment, ALL users NEED to use SAME folder structure.
Same drive letter (local and mapped network drive).
All you need is one user don't follow this rule to have never ending file referencing.
This apply to PDM and not.
Also apply if software remember full path or not.

Frederick_Law

I loath the thought of trying to put together a "test plan" for updating to a newer version. Depends on your setup. I had 4 versions installed and able to run them all together. Currently I have 3: 2019 SP5, 2020 SP4, 2021 SP2. 2020 SP5 refused to install. Beside the program installed in ...

They need to keep delivering products to stay successful. That's why they got Keystone. The more successful they're on YouTube and Kickstart, the more pressure on manufacturing. Once supply cannot keep up with demand, it start to come apart. People, consumer always looking for the "new" an...

If they don't change, they will go down. You can work with no standard, no planning on art and 1's 2's. Once you need production of 10's with 100 different configs, you can't wink it. Anyone can pitch a kickstart with great photos. Only a few actually deliver their product. Some struggled to deliver...

I believe the whole SwYmp is not indexed.

Anyway, its good for this forum.
We need to put this in top search.
Right now the cz come up in search.

I believe they all multiple of first mode.
I just get first mode higher then machine RPM to avoid harmonic.

Not much different.
Not better or worse than 2020.
No PDM.

Frederick_Law

Gather a group of investors.
Buy Wyrmwood when the time is right.
I believe you'll figure that out.

They need to focus on the product they want to make.
Stay away from managing production.

Not really. I guess I forgot that people still use that. If you want, I'll add it to the list.

Matt, did you ignore Inventor on purpose?

Frederick_Law

No, its too much different.
Even from Inventor to Fusion.

And you might want to turn off mod.
