SW has become a processor/memory hog over the years because they have been concentrating on functional and interface enhancements. 2009 won't have any huge noticeable changes to the end user but it should be a lot leaner and meaner.Matt AllesWed, 07 May 2008 09:41:18 -0000http://solidsmack.disqus.com/buell_motorcycles_hiring_senior_cad_designer_solidworks_hiring_too/#comment-1303412It's a little late for a reply to this post but, Buell does not primarily use Solidworks. They have a seat or two but they mostly use a package, whose name I can't remember, that is popular with some of the European super car manufacturers.<br><br>That said, I've worked with Buell and it would be a fun place to work. It has its ups and downs like anyplace but it is a very small company where an engineer could have a big impact and do some fun stuff (riding a motorcycle as part of you job is not a bad thing).Matt AllesFri, 09 May 2008 14:27:27 -0000
