Resetting the default WCS in the dialog boxes not to be the ABS WCS 2

thread561-354648

The thread that I'm referencing is a couple of years old. Perhaps there has been a change that has addressed this concern? (it's a frustration that I hear from UG users at my company as well....)

Running 8.5 (Waiting for MIS to install NX9.X !!)

Thanks,
Scott

In the thread you link to, it appears that user capnhook has submitted and enhancement request (ER#6962396); if you contact GTAC, you can have them "add your name" to the ER. This will tell them that multiple users are interested in this feature and it will get more "weight" behind it; also, you will get updates from GTAC if/when work moves forward on it.

Yes, and here I sit and wait, nearly a year and a half.

We are all being inconvenienced because a new unsuspecting user might create something un-associative.

I've been using UG for 30-years......I'm finding that since Siemens took over there appears to be a good deal less responsiveness to Users requests/suggestions than in the past. Not sure if this is reflected by other User's experiences or not.

They appear to be all about selling new seats. Those of us who have paid hundreds of thousands (or millions of dollars) in maintenance over the years are relegated to second class citizen status.

Just a small rant on my part about the existing UG structure/attitude.

I'll call GTAC and add my name to the list on the ER.........

If an ER has already been opened, then the BEST way to show that there's a broader desire for this enhancement than just the original requester, please contact GTAC and open your own IR/ER and request that it be linked to the first one. This is the ONLY mechanism that we have that indicates to us that this may be of a higher priority than what would be seen as a request from a single user.

Please note that even if a number of people ask for the same thing, this does not automatically mean that it will be implemented. It's still the responsibility of the relevant Product Manager(s) to review an ER and decide if it first fits into our strategy as to how this aspect of NX has been designed to be used, and second, is the benefit derived from this change worth the expenditure of the limited resources that we have, for each release of NX, that has been set aside for new projects and enhancements. Each Product Manager is responsible for the resources that he has a say in applying but he must also coordinate his requests for new projects/enhancements with the other Product Managers since NX is a complex product and many changes requires that work be done by multiple groups and therefore often the value, and thus the 'cost', of an enhancement has to weighted by multiple groups at once. If this sounds complex and time consuming, well, yes it is. That's the price we all pay for working with a complex tool designed to address the needs of a broad ranges of customers using our software to design and manufacture a extensive range of very different products.

And before anyone asks, NO I personally am NOT a 'Product Manager', although I've had that responsibility in the past where I was the Product Manager for 'UniSolids', 'UG Solids', 'UG Photo', 'Unigraphics V10.0', and more recently, while I was NOT formally part of the Product Mangement group, I was the de facto Product Manager for the 'User Interface' projects from NX 5.0 through NX 9.0, but I'm no longer doing that as we now have a full-time dedicated Product Manager for the UI and the NX Visual Rendering tools.

I'll check back in another year-and-a-half.
