One opinion- Do NOT use 2007 for curvy models

They may bring over the old algorithms but what I'm talking about is the option you say Ideas has to "upgrade" the feature to the newer algorithm. You criticize Solidworks for not having that option when UG doesn't even have it either. Will they add that ability...I don't know.

Also....if the UG sketcher is the best they can do....then they need more help. It still lags far behind the Solidworks sketcher. And where are Assembly configurations? Between Part/Assy families, Arrangements, Reference sets, and Mating Alternates....they don't play well together. Then try throwing UGs layers in the mix and you have a very confusing mix of tools that all work differently. Solidworks configurations are way easier and more powerful.

I have never tried UG, but your note is the quickest ball park description of key differences around the 2 very significant Items for me in SolidWorks, sketch & configs, compared to UG.

If a 3D CAD program can't handle sketches and configs and do it easily and intuitively, I would be a bit astonished.

This is 2007 is it not?

Thanks - Bo

Jason,

Out of interest, which version of UG are you using?

John

Nx2 for production....currently testing and configuraing Nx4.
