As a an industrial designer who appreciates the wisdom of Frank Lloyd Wright ("form and function should be joined as one") and from Pablo Picasso, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" I would say to the engineers out there run with it, as there has never been such an opportunity in history for engineers and designers to mutually encroach on each others domains thanks to SolidWorks. If I were you (engineer), I would sit back and reflect on the opportunity being pressed forward to you and hear the man out. You might, at some point just embed a sensitivity about that next rocket engine you design that somehow might just invoke the same reaction to your company customers: ooooooohhhh yeah, I gotta have it so bad . . .MikeFri, 19 Oct 2007 13:40:18 -0000
