I work in a company that deals with Catia, Unigraphics, and Solidworks as well. We have tooling applications groups who have to deal with native customer dies and files. I work in the product group in which we design in solidworks.
I tell you that to share this mornings ironic software rant by our applications guys who use UG and Catia. They have just spent some time upgrading both packages.... Catia to V5R17 and UG to NX5. They have been using them for about a week now, and apparantly were having quirks, and issues that unleashed an ironic rant that I've heard in this forum so many times before. One of the guys was so mad he was practically yelling his rant so everyone could hear.
But I couldn't help but remember the last loud ending to the rant and I quote. "I can't believe we have to work with this shit!" It's like they don't even test there own software!"
Aparantly we are not alone.... just thought I'd share.
