My last post here talked about Top-Down Design – a big selling point for some CAD software – actually turning out to be a best-practice nightmare. And it is. Besides…

During the years that I’ve worked with CAD, there was one thing that I found that just terrified a lot of users and even CAD managers: In-context design. It’s…
I posted on Resilient Modeling less than a year ago, after Solid Edge University 2013. Dick Gebhard is the main guy behind this idea. He has constructed it such that…
There is an on-going discussion about whether a history-based “move face” feature can be as effective as the Synchronous Technology Steering Wheel. Let’s take a couple of specific examples. 1.…
Sometimes I think the Synchronous message gets a little bit garbled. We get so caught up in stressing the strengths of Synchronous Technology and dinging history-based modeling that we tend…
This is one of those things I’m wondering about. In SolidWorks, I’ve written pages and pages talking about potential best practice approaches. It really gets tiring. And then I argue…
One of the things that is so incredible about the SolidWorks software is the sheer range of people that it has to accommodate. Everybody from crusty old tin-knockers, to overworked and…
