As I have posted for years... all SaladWorks Corp really focuses on is AutoCad / Autodesk. Is it any wonder SaladWorks is now such a POS... and it's only gonna get worse.
Here is the latest on SaladWorks 2006
I was struck by the number of changes to SolidWorks 2006 that mimic additions to AutoCAD: text in a box (mtext), spell check, tables with equations and object properties (fields), jog dimensions, design checker (standards), and so on.
In Us vs. Them news, SolidWorks is changing the name of eDrawings, which was an accurate but unexciting name, to DWGviewer. Uh huh. They now have a stable of three DWG-named products to convince AutoCAD users to come on over, the water's fine:
DWGviewer -- publish and view CAD drawings. DWGgateway -- translate .dwg files between releases. Next up: the ability to generate PDF files from inside AutoCAD. DWGEditor -- .dwg file editor based on IntelliCAD. Bonus: 3-to-1 licensing, which each license of SolidWorks gives you three licenses of DWGEditor. The emphasis on DWG is no accident: Mr McEleney sees 2D AutoCAD users belonging to the prime cohort of new SolidWorks customers. It's a matter of reassurance.
SolidWorks 2006 is due out in July, or maybe even June."
When you have had more than enough of SaladWorks and want a real CAD/CAM package from a company that does not give a flying f*ck what Autodesk is doing:
How much more pathetic whining are we going to hear from SaladWorks Product Loyalists before they get off their collective asses and change to a real CAD/CAM program like they should have years ago.
