If anyone has access to to 2005, Is it possible to do a linear pattern of a hole series at the assembly level?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

In what way are they behind? Which software?
Just curious.
thanks

When was the last time you used Inventor? What you need to realize is every MCAD system has strengths and weaknesses.

On the other hand, maybe you're just a super-duper CAD expert.
Not being an multi-platform expert (though I've used SE & INV along with SWX, all at different release stages), I'm eagerly looking forward to your comparative assessment.
RE: SW 2005 Question
That was exactly the first thought that crossed my mind.

RE: SW 2005 Question
I am a daily solidworks users. I have used it ever since solidworks 96. I love the software but what annoys me is solidworks claims that they are first to implement something in there software and it is something unique. I use Alias Maya and Studiotool on weekly bases. I have used SolidEdge for several years since it came out. I review the software every new release. I took Catia training within last 12 months to work on one project that my company had to do. I have used think design to use it's "FLEX" features to modify imported geometry in the same way as "FLEX" feature in SW2005 does. The new triad that now you can move flex object in that in 3d space has been in Think design, MAYA, 3dMAX, StudioTool and other program for over 5 years. Maya, studio tool, 3dmax had "FLEX", "Deform", "Continuous Curvature", and many other tools designed towards consumer products for years. Inventor has had design journal for over a year. Inventor has had excellent tools in weldment and in sheetmetal modeling that solidworks is just implementing.
My point in all this is SolidWorks claims. They are not the innovators as they claim they are. They play catchup. Perhaps one or two features are truly innovative.
Try others programs yourself and see for yourself.
I always submit enhancements to solidworks to what programs and the features in them that they should study to improve their program. They implement them in ever new realease. That's a good thing.

Good for you SWUSER for learning so many CAD programs.
I wish more people were experienced in other programs, it makes them a better designer, IMO.
RE: SW 2005 Question
Obviously you have never spent your own money on a cad package. I feel I got more my moneys worth out of SW99 then I have out of SW2001, 2001+, 2003 or 2004. Granted I like the improvements since 99 but it was nice to have a release stay on the market that long, from a buyers prospective. The rapid release of new versions tends to cramp the budget and force us to make decisions on what we can live with and what we cannot. Don't get me wrong, from a users point of view, I am like a kid at xmas when the new disks come in. But when its time to sign the bill, thats another story.
RE: SW 2005 Question
I'm delighted that there exists such spirited debate among users and that the market remains broad. It drives the innovation in the industry.
That's the problem with MS, no competition so they just do what they want with no fear of losing market share. Innovation at Microsoft is driven by "how do we string people along to continue buying new versions of the same software" instead of "how do we develop features so that our demos blow the socks off people comapared to xxx"
The latter drives innovation at a much faster clip than does the former.
