split line removal

and...although few would credit me for it I have been more conspicuous than probably anyone in voicing objections on behalf of users about quality and features especially in the face of fanboys so please don't tell me I do little constructive for other users. also.. there ARE a few of my ideas that have found their way into the software.. all said and done 99% of users contribute stuff all here or anywhere else so I don't do too badly I think. consider also I am often the person who defends others here so don't put me in the hothouse with flowerpot

yours etc

Fair enough, I agree and would not put you in the same hothouse! Sometime I just want everyone to get along - seems more constructive in the long run. btw I'm not a fanboy - I consider myself a realist is all.

Zander,

I just don't believe SW necessarily listens to nice guys who talk the same in person as they do on the usernet. Rather they predominantly respond and react to the prevailing market and sales environment. There are times when nice and not so nice are equally appropriate. Personally, I wouldn't trust anyone that is nice all the time. They are hiding something, grin.

SolidWorks is fun when it works.

I believe that we all agree that we would like to see higher quality from SW. I myself believe that SW could do a better job but from my perspective SW has made fairly good efforts to add new features and to keep the quality as high as possible.

However, my perspective, (a former Inventor user) is a little slanted.

IV. And there were plenty of obvious issues that could have been improved. Almost no progress over a three year period for the averag user and the level of bugs seemed to be considerably worse then what I have found with SW upgrades.

Probably the best thing that we can do is keep our critcisms as constructive as possible and hopefully this will have some influence with SW.

LOL Inventor? You guys need to quit looking at your feet.

Definitely not true. I was was complaining about not being able to use configurations in Library features for a few years, and in SW2003 (???) SolidWorks put that functionality into Library features. I don't know if they thought that configs in Library features was unnecessary or if they just decided to put it out and add to it later. Either way it is a good feature to have. Was it perfect when it was implemented? No. But things seldom are. That's just one example.

Actually, the little jerk has made some valid points. If he would lighten up a bit he could be a useful member of the group.

On the other hand, I've never kill-filed Jon or Cliff, so I must have an incredibly high pain threshold.

Having people in a killfile is like having a screened in porch on a summer evening - the bugs are out but they can't get you.... ahhhh!
