Should I buy SOLIDWORKS?

I imagine if the technology is worth it, somebody will buy it and make it their own. Apparently it isn't "all that"!

ken,

I'd like to clarify that Edrawings is NOT made by GSSL and resold by Solidworks, but the other way around. Edrawings is a Solidworks owned and patented technology and GSSL is involved with developing it for other programs such as you listed. If someone buys edrawings for IV, UG or Pro, some of that goes back into Solidworks pocket. Just wanted to make sure you were aware.

Well, considering that GSS is not in the marketing/sales business for consumer products, but rather the business of building translator/viewers/integrations for the major CAD vendors, I would be more inclined to believe that SolidWorks has contracted GSS to produce the initial SolidWorks version and has been free to expand it for other applications since they own part of the copyright.

FYI, SolidWorks has only 8 patents to their name and Edrawings nor any of the technology used within is listed. The only registered Edrawings item listed for them is the Edrawings trademark (which isn't a patent).

JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE AWARE.
