in SolidWorks Crashes & Slowdowns: It’s Your Fault on Jeff's Tool Shed
Hi Jeff-
Being a consultant with over 30 clients, I'd say that the majority of the SolidWorks users I've worked with have sub-standard computers that hinder their productivity.

Hi Jeff-
Thanks for this review.
So, nothing's changed as far as ATI video cards and SolidWorks, they still don't work very well.

Devon,
They still seem a bit sketchy to me. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Anna and Rob put the cards through their paces.

Hi Brian-
Interesting post. I don't play computer games, so I'm not familar with any game User Interfaces.
In my area, SoCal, internet speeds, in general, are too slow to support resource intensive applications. My DSL speed varies considerably and cable internet starts at $100.00 per month and goes up to $750.00 per month, very expensive. Wireless, while plentiful, is also quite slow in San Diego.
Another question, what if an internet connection is not available? Would a local machine install still be required? If so, it would run so must faster than a Cloud application.
Thanks for sharing,
Devon

From what I have gathered, they do the heavy work crunching on their server farms, and then basically stream the video to you; almost like watching a movie. I would think that your connection speed would still play a part in it though...
If no connection, then you have the same problem as with every other cloud application...dead in the water.
As far as standalone running faster than SaS, that would be true provided you had the hardware required. But with something like this, there is the potential to run say, SolidWorks, on that old dusty box up in your attic or maybe even a smartphone!
That is one of the things that gets me most excited; you could go longer between hardware upgrade cycles, for instance!
Also, you can rent the software instead of having to buy and maintain maintenance. You will always have access to the latest and greatest.

Interesting.
The gear ratio/sprocket sizes appear to be reversed. The drive output gear is larger than the driven gear on the rear wheel.

ahhh, yeah, i see it now, I was thinking the disc brake was the gear, but yeah, that would need to be reversed.
David, looks like you have a few consultants will to help out :)

in SolidWorks On Edge Relations: Avoid Them Like Teething Zombie Babies on SolidSmack
RE:"Use Parallel and Perpendicular Relations
When creating Library Features and want them to work, use parallel,perpendicular and symmetric relations instead of any others. This will help them work in any orientation."
That's a great Tip, I always forget this when I make a Library Feature.

Devon, could you post an example of a library feature you have done showing how you have used the relations to make the feature more functional.

I like the Bench. Interesting it was designed in Alibre.
I had to laugh when I saw the builder recommending to "bend a steel rule" to make the radius. Bent steel rules laying around can't be good.
Cheers,
Paul & Babe

yeah, don't bend your metal ruler. use a good stiff piece of laminate or masonite. works perfect.
Yup, I'll be getting into that next.
