It doesen't work yet but right now it consists of a spaghetti strainer, jumper cables and a bunch of tinfoil.<br><br>Anyway, when I think about future CAD, I think about holographic displays and voice recognition. So I guess I do not see the use for an input device. The way I see it, the input would be voice and actual manipulation of a 3D holographic shape.<br><br>For rudimentary stuff, you would ask for a rectangular or cylindrical shapes to start. Next you would command for additional features, like an axial hole or radial hole and place it with your hands. You'd place or input dimensions by touching surfaces with verbal input for values.<br><br>For the ID side of things, shapes could be pulled from a holograhic library that would appear and float next to the part you're designing. Just select and place where you want it then massage with your hands or verbally instruct how to blend in place.<br><br>At the end of either process, the next step would be to make a proto-type of actual part. This would be done by voice command to instruct the current geometry to be processed using a yet to be invented process, such as HER (Holographic Energized Molecularization)EddieMon, 31 Mar 2008 17:13:53 -0000http://rickyjordan.disqus.com/solidworks_2008_configurations/#comment-1789947Thanks for the SW08 Update.<br><br>Can all of the enhancements be used if a Design Table is present?<br><br>I sure hope so but your write-up specifically mentions, "Not having to create a DT..." and "When you don't have a DT..."<br><br>Thank you,<br>eddieEddieWed, 29 Aug 2007 08:41:44 -0000
