Your insulting, offensive reply deserves no comment other than this.
"Which would be 2nd or 3rd semester students?"
My colleagues are mechanical designers that have worked 20+ years for a defense organization and are not college students.
"Equivalent to a CAD drivers license learner permit"
No, a novice is a learners permit. An expert is a professional motor racer. I am neither a novice nor an expert.
"Have you searched?"
Yes, as I implied by my original question, I have searched and found no other thread that is predominantly on MDT vs. IV.
"Wet behind the ears newbies should restrict themselves to such activity until they're knowledgable enough to participate. (see attachment: ng_discussion.zip)"
Wrong. First, I am not a novice. Second, novice can participate although they may and should share other's more experienced input that they have learned or heard.
"How does anyone other than a zealot or shill get off telling someone else what's best for them?"
LOL. I am not the one that's doing the getting-off here. From your insults, it strongly appears that you are telling me what's best for me and from the intensity, are the one getting off. Then again, what you are saying is erroneous since you are already mistaken on what I said and from where I'm coming.
"How does anyone other than a complete idiot get off saying one program or another is "superior" without putting it in some real world working
environment context and defining that environment?"
How does anyone other than a complete idiot come to an false conclusion to another's post and then from his/her own mistaken understanding, proceed to issue insulting, unsubtantiated virtriol against that other person? Have you asked sincere questions before issuing your vitriol? As I have ALREADY admitted, I don't have much experience with Inventor or MDT. Hence, I am sharing my more experienced colleagues' real-world work experiences with IV and MDT. Two others here claimed they can write pages and pages showing MDT over IV and they have yet to step up to plate here or in another thread.
"Do you earn a living using the software?"
Yes.
"Doing what?"
A Mechanical Engineer
"For whom?"
A defense organization
"Where may examples of your work be found?"
Due to the sensitive nature of our work, they can be found on our organization's Vault and other servers. The assets produced from those models and drawings can also be found rolling, flying, piloting, or roboting along in the Army, Navy, and other non-defence government agencies.
"Examples of anything you've done?"
I refer you to the immediately preceding reply.
"If you think IV is better demonstrate it. "
If you think MDT is superior to IV, then you, Alex, and Aug demonstrate it. I've nothing to say at this point.
"Otherwise you're just another wrinkled, smelly opinion. Another beer can laying beside the disinformation highway."
In light of your whole reply, do you always welcome person, whom you've concluded (in this case, erroneously) "wet behind the ears newbies", in this offensive, grossly prejudicial, highly insulting manner?
Unless you abandon your ad hominem, prejudicial reply; then I have nothing more to say to you and will disregard further comments from you except a penitent reply from you. I do not appreicate your offensive vitriol against me nor will I tolerate it. Your reply convinced me that you are a human bent on destructive criticism and insulting all people (new, intermediate, and expert) instead of welcoming new people, helping people, and contributing positively to the DG's. Are you a troll?
