What Product/Add-in Would You Like To See In SW?

RE: What Product/Add-in Would You Like To See In SW?

I'd like to see something similar to SolidMech come back, and they seriously need to figure out the whole PV360 mess out.

Artificial intelligence at the assembly level that will understand design intent so it can auto-mate components and adjust interfacing features for best design.

Coordinate systems that can be used for mates and feature construction like in Pro/E.

Waidesworld,

Well, if you are going to ask from something unreasonable, why ask at all? ;)  

Actually, that is a good point that SW only barely now understands.

I would like to see the surfacing features similar to CATIA that are used in composite design/layup.

(OP)
Eltron ... I agree about SolidMech. I built much of my library with it. Much better than Toolbox.

I haven't tried it yet, but you may be interested in 123GO from http://www.logopress3.com/en/products-6.php

RE: What Product/Add-in Would You Like To See In SW?

Seems related to the survey at Matt's blog a few weeks ago:

http://www.dezignstuff.com/blog/?p=2922 (results, top ten)

If I remember correctly, Rick Chin was behind development of eDrawings.  That's great stuff!  Maybe eeking out something as simple as Conics wouldn't be too much to ask for?
