Inventor??????

Is it true that Solidworks has a greater market share

Is it also true that you can run larger assemblies much faster in soildworks

As our company has just folded because we could not get drawings out fast
enough

One of my mates tells me that Solidworks can produce over 200 drawings in a
week is this true

Has anyone here used Solidworks....where can i get a copy

Dear princess frog, who cares?

"Is

soildworks"
No.


"As our company has just folded because we
could not get drawings out fast

Don't think this is related to the
software.(nor hardware)


"One of my mates tells me that Solidworks
can produce over 200 drawings in a

Please post in
Solidworks forum, not really Inventor related...Inventor can produce at least 10
000 a week at a rate of 1 idw/min, if Solidworks can't do better than 200 that
is poor!


"Has anyone here used Solidworks....where can i get a copy"

Don't know, you can't get a copy, but maybe a personal demo from you local
solidworks reseller ?

 

Regards,

Jorgen

>Is it true that


Just like clockwork. Dang, I mean, you could just about set your watch to
this stuff. Autodesk gets ready to release a new version of Inventor, and
the other folks get all uneasy and come a-trolling. I remember remarking
about the phenomenon way back in release...5, I think. With R11, granted,
they have good reason to be uneasy. You'd thing they'd try to be a little
less transparent about to, though. Not a very imaginative group, I guess.

>where can i get a copy

Bwahahahahahahahahahah!!!







Cheers,
Walt

Personnaly, I see drawings/week to be more dependant on the user, their knowledge of the package and computer reliability (not software) as well as the users time dedicated for such a task. I have used both (SW 2003 and IV 9) and saw a few advantages in IV in the 2D drawing environment over SW 2003.

LOL!

R11 has this neat little meter on the bottom RH corner of the container
window that indicates the system load. If it starts running into the red,
components can be suppressed and they actually unload from memory. You can
actually unload (suppress) components and watch the little meter back off.

What's more is that these "suppressed" states (called LOD's -Level of
Detail-) can be saved, used to create drawings, accessed during intial open
of the assemblies and also during instancing of sub assemblies into the top
level assembly.

So, Mr. Princess Frog.... Inventor just leapfrogged over your beloved SW
(that broke your company!! -brilliant marketing there!!) and drop-kicked it
in the groin in doing so.

You don't need any wow the newbie meter. Performance will drive you simplify
your reps long before you max out memory or address space.

I wonder if Autodesk will do their own cubes benchmark comparison showing that
IV is faster than Solidworks now? Go ahead. Rub their noses in it.

Not sure about that, but your competitors just got marketshare jump 😉

>>>"Is it also true that you can run larger assemblies much faster in

I heard solidworks could fry an egg for breakfast and balance our check
books.
But when I asked the reps just justify the large siwtch over cost, they ran
out the door promising to get back in a day or so and havent been heard from
since, I want my fried egg dammit!!!

>>>"As our company has just folded because we could not get drawings out

Go LEAN, sort out your waste, o wait the trash has already been thrown
out....

Adsk still hasn’t fixed the “what’s new” table of contents where it says
Sheet Metal…………..0

Oh wait… that’s not a mistake.

I also like the features that they have added in IV11 but those same features also exist in SW (for several years now). IV11 is the best release yet! Last time I checked SW has lightweight technology so performance is probably the same. I'm just very glad that Inventor is heading in the right direction now.

Quinn, while Adesk was making us a neat little resource meter (I just used ctrl alt del to get to the windows meter, but thanks anyways Adesk) Solidworks was giving their users 64 bit so now they do not have to worry about resources. We are still limited to 4 gigs ram,...... but we do have a neat meter.

Are motherboards even readily available with more than 4 slots for Ram??

To suggest that the only thing we did to address capacity issues was provide
the status indicator is quite disingenuous to the new tools that we
provided. You have a valid point, but please don't reduce our efforts in
this area to simply a memory meter.

So now everyone has light weight… what’s next?

SW 2007 has touted 50% smaller file sizes.
Hummm, is that good or bad.

The R11 LOD representation is not the same as the lightweight feature. It does address capacity, but it is a full-fledged representation of the assembly, like postional and design view reps, that offers more control, features, and room to grow. There can be multiple LODs and they can be used in drawings and in export operations. Plus, it doesn't put feathers into your browser.
