John, thanks for that info! I'm digging into it...
Actually there is a university college near Brugge (Kortrijk) where Siemens NX is taught to industrial design students. (They used to teach Pro/E...)
I'm poking around to find out if I can attend (some of) those classes. These classes are part...
@skanskan:
My thoughts exactly.
I feel that the entertainment software industry somehow is more on top of this trend. Maybe because artists do more personal work in their free time?
I'll show a few examples:
NUKE Personal Learning Edition = free vs. NUKE = $4155
Houdini Apprentice HD = $99/yr...
I would use it for hobby projects. I actually own multiple 'learning edition' licenses of software packages that offer much of the functionality of their full versions, but with some key features (that ARE important for commercial work, like: importing/exporting, no watermark on output etc.)...
slightly OFF TOPIC:
I hope someone can provide an insightful answer on this... Why is it that NX (or any high-end CAD/CAM package for that matter) is not made accessible for non-commercial use? It boggles my mind, really...
I would think that the more people can use the software on their own...
Well, the amount of personal training opportunities for NX (not organised/paid for by employer) in Belgium is quite disappointing. As in: as good as none.
I do have a few relatives that have just started attending college. I might check with them.

Ah, that's too bad.
So I guess, unless I work at a company that has an NX seat or unless I own a commercial license myself, I cannot learn NX in my free time?

Hi all,
I'm really interested in learning NX for personal use. In the company where I work, SolidWorks is the primary CAD tool. I want to try something different on my own... Question of personal fulfillment...
Is there a way to obtain a non-commercial license of NX, geared towards learning its...
@CorBlimeyLimey:
Thank you for the insight provided by that document!
Another question:
Would Windows 7 64 bit with SolidWorks 2011 64 bit on top of it solve most of my problems?
greetings,
Dries
@CorBlimeyLimey:
"You appear to have the /3GB switch enabled"
Indeed, I have the 3GB switch enabled.
"do you have the /USERVA=2900 (or similar) also enabled?"
I was not familiar with that particular switch (never heard of it). But I just checked the boot.ini of the Windows bootloader and it...
@Eltron: The problem doesn't seem to be related to any specific model, although it only occurs in more complex assemblies (NOT anything too fancy with 100s of parts and subassemblies, though).
I've already rolled back the driver to a generic quadro version and did a thorough registry clean. I...
Hello,
I'm using SolidWorks 2011 Standard on Windows XP 32 bit.
I'm having weird graphical glitches in my SolidWorks viewport lately. I've already gotten them three times this week.
I have added an image (screenshot) so you can see what I am talking about.
I used to be an avid gamer and I...
Hello,
I work as a mechanical engineer at a company that produces and distributes heating radiators.
Our design department would like to distribute the drawings of our product library to select members of staff within our organization. We have a lot of drawings with many variations of radiator...
