From: TOP on 4 Apr 2007 12:37 Seems to me some user group experience might help. It might also help to have a seasoned user come in and review "how" you are trying to do what you are doing. With SW there is usually an easy way and a hard way. Many times the old ways are the hard ways as they come with a bunch of hidden assumptions that don't apply to solid modeling. However, even with all that SW can be slow as it really should let you do it your way and still perform well. TOP

That helps with selection but not always. The bigger frustation is the inability to change the thickness and/or hide/show etc. The hide/show problem has been around FOREVER.
From: swizzle on 4 Apr 2007 12:55 Oh, how I miss the days of the drafting board. No file management, just throw it in a drawer. The smell of ammonia from the blue print machine. Electric erasers on Sepia copies. I'd go back in a heart beat. >>> On 4/4/2007 at 8:06 AM, in message <L72dnf5YxshbLY7bnZ2dnUVZ_h7inZ2d(a)magma.ca>, FrankW<fworm(a)norpak.ca> wrote: > Geeeezzzzz you guys are to much! > Take away the cad system (any one) and replace it with a pencil/eraser > and drafting table. > Then tell me how much it sucks. > >

(can't get into much more specifics, non-disclosure...) other than that, swx rawks hard. it is just the little things, ya know? the little things. :~)> bob z. is discussing this post with a co-worker right now. he does the big stuff - he has an assembly right now with over 8000 parts. oh yes. bob z. p.s. kill the king. the king is dead. long-live the king.
