Ricky Jordan Good question Brian. I'm not sure what the delay is. I haven't quizzed any of my contacts at SolidWorks about it as of yet. All the resellers are saying at this point is that we should have them by the end of October.
Maybe someone from SolidWorks Corp. will read this and enlighten us? :-)
In-context relationships are great during the conceptual phase of a design. A few of my colleagues swear by them. As a general rule of thumb, I don't use them. They are often more trouble than they are worth. If I do happen to use them, I will usually delete them (and recreate the sketch relations) before the parts get released.
I have mixed emotions about beta testing. It IS voluntary and if people want or have the time (not I) to commmit to debugging...Then have at it. Also, in some small way, SolidWorks does "pay"...with prizes. I guess it all depends on how you feel...Donate 100+ hours of beta testing in hopes that you MIGHT win a computer or an iPod shuffle...
