Any New/Existing SR Issues for SolidWorks 2010 Topic 1 sp=0.0?

[mjcole]

Idea Sprouted from following Post.

thread559-256688

Please post any SRs here so we can have major issues looked at by Increasing Service Request volume.

Id appreciate if you don't ask for thread removal before we debate whether this is a good idea or not.

Now Get your fly swatters ready to Swat some bugs Eng-Tips style.

To get things started here is a bug I found on 2009 when SolidWorks allowed for the Property Manager to be detached from default manager area and docked or floated in Display Area or on another screen. See following link for details on using the detached PropManager the post also shows why I prefer the 4 other location options

Hey Everyone,

I filed an SR for this an I know this is one of the options I liked using in 2009 and earlier.

2010 Datum Plane now behaves like the 3D Sketch Plane did in 2009 and earlier.

My beef with that is instead of being a simple swap from a center plane Normal to Surface vs Tangent to (On Surface) requires that either the Conical surface or the center axis need to be removed or added to make the swap instead of a simple Toggle check box. seems like a loss in function. However for the Tangent Surface the Normal plane does not need to pass through the center of the Cone to work as a Reference.

I'm trying to decide whether having separate ER: Enhancement Request topic and SR: Service Request topic may be more beneficial than a lumped topic with both.
Either way if we agree with someone's post we can decide to file the same ER or SR using the same criteria and similar message with our own perspective of the issue and possible implementation. By doing this I believe we'll have better chances of getting SolidWorks a bunch of SRs that are already inter related so they can be assigned the same SPR if enough people request a fix or improvement.

SR: Brief Description and then include RX or VAR email regarding issue with steps on how to reproduce so we can test on various SPs and verify and get on SolidWorks to fix issues or add functionality.
Please include all fields asked for other than VAR SR # and Serial Number.

If any one has an SR: or ER: you want to put out there it can only help. We could have a Post Topic per service pack or version year. Please create your SR or ER Topics in thee 2010 sp0.0 thread or start one for 2009 SP5 or 4 so other people can see if they too are experiencing the issues we should also refrain from saying one CAD system is better than the rest like some of those really long SW vs Pro/E posts get into. Although for ERs telling SolidWorks that Inventor can do something that SolidWorks can't only can help. For one thing Open With actually shows the Product year next to Inventor Professional 2009 whereas making sure the Save w/! or Future version errors come up.

The Area and Sub Area fields of RX and the three pronged attack of the 3 fields on the SR submittal pages where many things get wrongly filed.

If we file an Enhancement Request and post the details here as to what section of SolidWorks SRs or ERs it was filed under then it may get placed on the Frequently Requested ERs that the ER tool shows, it would help them be noticed as the same issue instead of 20 or so different descriptions of the same request or enhancement suggestion.
