Singing The Praises of SP1 - SP2 etc.

[Anonymous]

Howdy Folks:

I've posted some complaints here before but now that SP2 is out I have to post something positive. Last year I started a school project in Iv5, migrated it to 5.3(with service packs) with minimal problems. In November I took the plunge and bought an Iv6 license ('couldn't use the school's software to complete this project since it may eventually turn into a small business). Anyway... many of my Iv5.3 idw. files would not open in Iv6 (crash & burn)! Some of the files that would not open were only single parts to this assembly (< 100 parts in the assembly) so they were relatively small files. While still in IV5.3 (prior to installing Iv6) I had converted my idw. files to AutoCAD dwg. files, and had to re-work some of them (you all know what a mess that can be!). After SP2. ALL of the idw. files opened with minimal problems (just a couple detached dim. lines and a couple make view precise issues). Overall... a satisfied customer. My only complaint now is that the idw to dwg. conversion still kinda stinks! HP Pavilion 734n, AMD 2400+, (512 Mb - boosted to 1 Gb), PNY nVidia gGforceTi4200 video card.

Attaboy. It's human nature to complain a lot more than to praise and
it's nice to see a positive post.

As one of the miscreants who has done his fair share of complaining, I
agree with your positive comments. I find SP2 to be pretty solid.

What'a'ya mean "Kinda" stinks ... I have to use a
clothes-pin just to think about it. <G>
