Eltro, Dan
Lookst like they did pretty good:
**#10 Simplify Video Card Requirements – I’m not sure I entirely understand the scope of this request.**
**DONE** Added auto system check to RX so the exact driver is verified and a direct link to the correct driver if it is incorrect. No longer a manual process of verification outside of running RX. (Version 2011)
**#9 Exploded Views for Weldments – Cool.**
**DONE** MultiBody Explode (Version 2012)
#8 Option to Dangle Children Instead of Deleting – This should be much higher on the list, in my opinion.
#7 Graphical Map of Reference – Ok, sure.
**#6 Allow More Types of Assembly Features – Cool.**
**DONE** New assembly level weld feature, Fillet and Chamfer (version 2011)
#5 Better Utilization of Processore Cores – Yes, definately.
**#4 On The Fly Equations in Dialog Boxes – Yes!!!**
**DONE??** Drop down to "add equation and bring up needed dialogs in 2011, New equation editor interface in 2012**
#3 File Compatibility Between Versions – YES!!!
**#2 Increase Stabilty – Yes, but what does this really mean?**
**Will never be "done" but has been focuse of last 3 releases"
**#1 SoldWorks Should Cleanly Uninstall Itself – I agree with this too, but is this really something that affects a lot of people on a daily basis?**
**DONE** Prototype versions in late SPs of 2011, brought to front as visible selection in 2012
===2011===6 out of 10!
1.Angle mates that don’t flip at random??
2.Better utilize processor cores
3.Option to dangle instead of deleting
**4.SolidWorks should cleanly uninstall itself**
**DONE** Late SPs of 2011 (Hidden but there) 2012 fully visible
**5.Freeze Features**
**DONE** Version 2012
**6.Enhanced Equations Input & Editing & Linking**
**DONE** New input interface in 2012
7.Convert a Solid Body into a Surface body without having to delete, offset, or knit faces
8.Make the ideas section (in the forum) available all year, not just for SWW
9.File compatibility between versions
10.Pressing Escape key should immediately return control of the interface
====2012====3 out of 10 so far...maybe more? Unsure on the ideas form request and mate functionality, could be 5 of 10??
Anyone know any other major software companies that meet these numbers for satisfying customer requests?
