for those on the ball and reading the SW09 whats new ;o) do I take it the performance improvement talked about at SWW08 is only in v.large assy via SpeedPak? i.e there is NO improvement for general work?...sad..sad...sad...
also I mention is passing the 3 beta versions for SW09 lasting 4, 2 and 2 weeks REALLY!! all I can say to that is that SW own testing had better be damn good cos they wont be finding and fixing much in that scenario.

btw I wasnt about to talk about what I am reading in the whats new - just asking if other readers take that to be the case as well..
Hey neil,
If you look again at that section you will notice that speedpak is a separate tool to use for performance gains when working with models and complex features. It looks like there are also performance enhancements for specific commands that we should notice when working with larger datasets... specifically large assemblies and drawings. I'm kinda confused by what you mean by general work though. For my gereral work the only time I would want a performance increase is when I'm working on larger assemblies or rebuilding large drawings, which seems to be the areas that were looked at first (makes sense). I'm interested to see if it is because of optimized code or more functions being sent to multicore processors. But... I do understand your skepticsm and we'll all just have to wait and see.
But as far as 'general' work... Sw draws lines and circles pretty fast by my feble human senses. I'm interested in seeing what general work your talking about. The one thing that I would like to see a huge performace increase aside from large assemblies and drawings is when rebuilding complex pattern features. This is still a very slow process when large feature patterns are required.

You have to be signed up for the beta participation to have the what's new available to you.

Hrmm.. I'm signed up for beta but don't see the What's New, or recieved an email on it. Where is it at ?
It wasn't actually ever posted 'officially' by SW. There was a glitch on their webiste which I believed they fixed. If you went to the link to the 2008 what's new and changed the 2008 to
2009 in the url..... you got the 2009 what's new.Don
ahh, yea I tried that.. guess I was too late :/
someone should kick them in the ass.. they said beginning of June.. we're almost into the second week, I wanna play dammit.
yea I agree... were almost in mid-June already!
Don
Hey tnik... what's your email?
nevermind, I got it. Sent you something.
Don
Thanks.. There's some fonts that adobe reader cant pull out of it, maybe thats why they pulled the file?
using Adobe Reader 8.1.2
you might find something at eng-tips too ;o)
hey Don,
well I was sorta led to believe from the scant information available that A) the CEO was setting a direction for.. um.. let me see if I remember.. ah.. scalability , performance and reliability ( not necessarily in that order or in importance of course ;o) ) B) SWW08 whats coming in 09 showed off considerable speed ups for some things -like 4 fold..
now like you I was thinking quad processor enabled or something... but when I looked at the whats new it seemed to me maybe it was all just to do with another variant of proxy (lightweight) parts in v.large assemblies?...
myself I am not so interested in v.large assemblies ( - I wonder just how large they mean? >500 parts?..) but I'll take any good gains in rebuilds for complex parts, smaller assys and annotating dwgs...
I really hope I am not going to be disappointed by marketing spin..(again)
