Features you'd like to see in SolidWorks
(OP)
Matt Lombard has a series of posts which has led up to this poll on which features people would most like to see in upcoming releases of SolidWorks. I'm posting this here to let you know about it and gather some larger numbers for this poll. If you're interested in voicing your opinion for which "top ten" features you'd like to see (and which you'd rather pass up), take the poll here:

Forget new features - just make it go faster.

Conic blends would be nice.

Equation-based curves are far too stodgy to quickly test a variety of forms (adding to the lack of continuity or tangency settings as Paul mentioned--things which are obvious must-haves).
Splines get lost as soon as you begin moving the edges or guide curves to which they're attached--particularly when you've got any points between the ends--so each use of a spline must be tweaked anytime the base geometry moves at all. Very tedious.
I'll bet the time/code required might be equivalent to the Magnifying Glass feature recently added. Ask for something for years, don't get it. Don't ask, don't need, receive it.

I would assume that adding conics would fall somewhere between OS-X native software and crinkled paper background both of which I can live without.

SW is too lazy to address. That, or they simply do not understand. Waiting for SW to catch up to where Pro/E was 15 years ago. Such a simple thing. Instead, they waste time inventing new "wizards" for things competent designers can already do in their sleep.

While I agree conics may not be of concern to many folks, but there's no reason not to have them either. Hell, Inventor has more conic abilities which kind of disturbs me...

The last time I checked conics were about mid-pack in the voting.

1) the leader placement appear in Annotations, when you place multiple lines, without having to click out and back in.
2) the stacked balloon style to contain "None" as the Border style does.
3) the leader placement on multiple line, vertical, dimensions, work when pulled outside the extension lines.
