I have a bad feeling about this.
We are doomed!!!!!

Frederick_Law

Probably no certification. Since SW can't even count and have internal round off errors. The chaos of which fork to use? Will files in one fork work on another? Each fork divide resource on development. How long did Linux took before it became "main stream"? If we can call them "main ...

Frederick_Law

Such software will not become engineering software.
Unless it get through all tests and certifications.

Add to the chaos with forked development.

First it need to start with a 3D model kernel. Or create one.

Frederick_Law

This is the way.

Never used F360 myself but FWIW A friend of mine who has used Inventor for many years recently told me that he is a lot more heavy user of F360 these days. Reason being, he says F360 has a much easier workflow for creating & outputting toolpaths etc for his CNC Mill & Lathe. He uses these m...

Put custom property in the config side without a config and watch someone else try to change the property in drawing.

A quick test:

Go to SwYmP, Solidworks user forum.
Filter on Media, go into Gallery.
Everyone see the 2 video I uploaded?

Because I'm testing why SW run out of memory. SW used 3GB of RAM but asking Windows for 40GB and crash. This is an imported file with 1000 bodies. Bodies are named import1 to import1011. Because its faster working in assembly. Easier to select parts and move them into subassembly. Working in multibo...

Frederick_Law

Ran the Save Bodies with "Derive resulting parts from similar bodies or cut list" on the 1000 bodies part last.
It finished with 41GB committed this morning.
SW show committed 12.6GB and used 3GB.

Will try another one with that off next week.

Its not really a mess. It became a mess when export and import. If I don't get the files name right, it will be a mess. We did one set Rev A. Its updated to B. Customer order Rev C without model. We quote and order material from A. Need to order ASAP because material price is going up 4% a day. So w...

It started yesterday. Took more time to organise and type it out. Lots of time to think when you're making subassemblies from a 500 parts assembly. That's why I hate multibody. People don't set it up correctly and parts are import1 import 2 ..... 1 weldment, 1 machined. 2 different part. So I end up...

Summary: Add RAM won't solve SW out of memory problem. Increase pagefile size will. I got this while saving bodies out of an import file with 1000 bodies: SW-OutOfMemory-01.jpg RAM use was only half and only SW closed. So I start another import (500 bodies) and watch memory use: SW-Memory-02.jpg Not...

Let's just be clear though, The platform will remain. Will they find a way to have a sort of seperation between both, that I do not know.

Another 5% working new feature?

Frederick_Law

Same here, but like with so many SW enhancements, I was frustrated by the implementation. Why didn't they extend that feature to allow re-naming Parts and Assemblies from a Drawing? That's one I don't think ever made it to the 5% threads started by @Alin on the old forum. Working on 1000 parts impo...

"rather have someone who may take their time and model in some design intent, but more slowly" Fast, inaccurate means waste lots of time to manage and clean up. Doing that for the one I replaced. Did a BOM with a 500 parts imported assembly. Didn't even sort the BOM. So item 1 is part 475....

I think that's the only good scan I got.
Tried to scan side mirror, rear bumper and spoiler and they didn't come out good.
The scanner keep losing tracking and throw surface all over the place.

Frederick_Law

It doesn't look flat up close.
The scan software can smooth them.
It can also fill it up to make a solid.
That's what I did and used it to cut the canard.
Whatever different will be take up by mounting tape :p

It's not easy to get good scan.

Something like a Surface Book with detach screen. I do want USB port on the screen. For 3D scanner. Dell might have something similar. Light weight under 5lb. My 12" E7240 is 3lb. Good enough to bring it on trips. Not that I do work when I'm away :p i7, maybe newer gen i5. 16GB RAM, SSD drive. ...

I usually do renaming in SW assembly.
When you change the name in the tree, it could change the filename also.
From there, you could search for "where used", ie other assembly and drawing which used that file.

Frederick_Law

Create a "challenge" and see how they do.
Model an assembly. Make part and assembly drawings with BOM.
Throw in some import parts.
Something that can be done in a day.

Difficult to track. Bitcoin is not trackable. Too many way to hide their connection with VPN and encryption.
And they might in place where all you can do is drop a bomb or nuke.

Just walk in with enough potential and you can get anything.
Like 100000V potential.

Note the "May have a need" portion of my post. Right now we are low on Engineers and Big on having several "Potential" jobs coming in. To make matters even less predictable the company has in the last four months made a "Shift in direction we are taking the company"......

Linkedin, face book is just another CV. User can and will put whatever there. Probably setup a set of tests for the first week to determine if the new hire could survive. Start with lower paid, move up if pass the test. Move again up after a month. Both parties need some time to "get along"...

All the same. Keep them cool. If its too hot to touch, put a fan on it. Last one I build lasted over 10 years until MB went dead. The manufacturer went dead before that.

Same reason SW cut into thin air whenever possible.
Since it keep doing the wrong thing 90% of the time, they should just program it backward.

And many other software.

I believe SW ask to have AV off when installing. Exactly my point. They don't know how to program and they keep blaming customer for their own problems. I don't turn off AV at and not at home. A few SP of SW won't install but I doubt it has anything to do with AV. I just skip that SP. If AV block a...
