My Latest Comments Published In This Weeks UpFront.eZine

"If SolidWorks doesn't have an answer soon, and if Siemens/UGS can learn to market this technology with SolidEdge, then I think SolidEdge can gain market share very quickly. I'm sick of the bells and whistles being added to SolidWorks with no real improvement in what's really needed for manufacturing people, and I hope this announcement puts serious pressure on SolidWorks.

"A year ago I told Kubotek that they needed to combine their direct dimension editing with parametrics, and was told that parametrics was the old approach. I didn't agree then and I don't agree now. You need both, for now."

Another comment from someone else in regards Siemens/UGS Synchronous Technology:

"I?m intrigued by the synchronous technology you featured in this past e-rag. Maybe it will give me what I?ve been looking for since 1988?" - Chris H

I hear you Chris. I hope SolidWorks Corp. does as well.

Tom Brewer has never been able to show where he has any of his comments published in regards to CADCAM. This is because Tom Brewer has nothing to say because he's an ignorant moron with no clues when it comes to understanding how the CADCAM business works and what tools are really needed in a CADCAM system.

Ignorant:

?Jon, I never forgot any of your postings about SDRC I made the wrong decision in spite of what you said. There have been a number of times that my Wife has told me to be careful in dealing with someone and after words says "I told you so". She earned the right to say it as well as you have earned the right to say I TOLD YOU SO. I made a decision that went against my better judgment and as usual it turned out poorly.? .... Tom Brewer

Ignorant:

?I do not purchase programs unless I know before hand that they are what I want and/ or need.?... Tom Brewer who can?t follow his own advice. See above.

Ignorant:

Tom Brewer thinking he and his pals like Joe788 can play their Usenet staking games, lie on a repeated basis and suffer no consequences for doing so.

Ignorant:

?I have shot myself in the foot, not an easy thing to do when it is in your mouth and your head is in your ass.?? Tom Brewer admitting what he?s often like.

Ignorant:

Someone who has a proven track record of not being able to deal with or accept the kind of change that occurs in the cadcam market... now that's ignorant or should we say that's Tom Brewer.

Ignorant:

Someone who doesn't live in San Diego yet insists there is no shortage of CNC machinists here... now that's ignorant or should we say that's Tom Brewer.

Ignorant:

Someone who criticizes someone on SolidWorks but has never helped anyone with specific SolidWorks answers. Someone who is not able to answer any questions that ?Vinny? had on master modeling or skeletal modeling. Someone who has never posted any models they have done... now that's ignorant or should we say that's Tom Brewer.

Ignorant:

Tom Brewer's failure to understand who Matt Lombard really is.

Ignorant:

Tom Brewer?s unable to comprehend what?s on the cover of the SolidWorks Bible:

"Whether you're a new, intermediate, ...."

Ignorant:

Someone who can?t understand more than a simple ?I love it!? or ?I hate it!? type of comment ... now that's ignorant or should we say that's Tom Brewer.

Ignorant:

Tom Brewer implies that because you acknowledge that the $25 SolidWorks course covers subjects / topics that the $650 SolidWorks course didn't that you're now somehow an idiot and got screwed when you decided to purchase the $650 SolidWorks course.

Tom Brewer Writing About SmartCAM:

?I ended up paying a consultant $40.00 per hour for two weeks.?

?FYI, when I said "Solid modeling" in reference to SmartCam it was tongue in cheek. What you could not see is that when I was typing that I was laughing to myself. Anyone that uses SmartCam and Solid Modeling in the same sentence cannot be taken seriously.?

Recently Tom Brewer said SmartCAM had no user interface problems and yet the record shows Tom Brewer thinks SmartCAM does indeed have user interface problems:

?The only real problem that I run into is that the screen can get cluttered and it becomes difficult to pick and choose elements in Free Form. I just use the utility masking feature to hide what is in the way, that cures the problem but it does add work (I tried the snap filtering and snap options but for me it was not the best way), I have seen other packages that handle picking and choosing in better.?

Conclusion:

Tom Brewer thinks he?s a SolidWorks expert. A SolidWorks expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.

UG/NX is just another program Jon knows nothing about and has never used. Jon-the-copy-paste-plagiarize-advertisement-non-user-demo-king.

[ Bill and Fred Motz are the only current users of UG NX that I know ]-Jon Banquer [ From what I could make out from what Bill posted it appears that UG NX CAM Operations Manager has the ability to show different views and include the WCS's in the tree. ]-Jon Banquer- [ but I have not seen how UG NX does things. ]-Jon Banquer- [ How robust is the UG NX CAM Operation Manager? ]-Jon Banquer - [ They (UG) would like to make me a VAR but I don't have the interest or the time. ]-Jon Banquer -

Sure Jon UG want's to make you a VAR just like when you were working for HSMWorks:

"I understand why your shop did not go with HSMWorks. We have a lot of work to do. "-Jon Banquer-

"Jon is not affiliated with HSMWorks ApS in any way and that we cannot control what people are writing on the web. Anybody can get evaluation licenses of HSMWorks and test it themselves. I hope this clarifies any doubt." - HSMWorks ApS -

Wow Jon, all this time you have been posing as the guy within your company who has to determine customers "design intent", edit customer supplied solid models and make arbitrary changes to their models so the part is easier for you to manufacture.

So Jon, now that you screwed up and posted your company has an engineering department, what exactly does your engineering department do while you are supposedly doing their job?
