No discussion in this thread of the FACT that it looks pretty clear
that SolidWorks has won the market and that a major shift has just
started to occur in places like California where a major machining job
shops in San Diego dumped 5 seats of Mastercam and went with the
integrated solutions of SolidWorks and OpenMind Hypermill. That shop
would be San Diego's 5th Axis CNC. When I say dumped I mean dumped.
The don't use Mastercam any longer for anything period.

How can Siemens NX be a factor when Siemens can't market to small
machining job shops and leaves this up to their VAR network which
isn't anywhere near as good or as strong as SolidWorks VAR network.
Further, Siemens isn't making any progress in this area which leads me
to believe that integrated solutions to SolidWorks will win out over
Siemens NX for the foreseeable future.

For those that need to seriously modify dumb solids very affordable
solutions to do what SolidWorks can't do (direct modeling) like
SpaceClaim are available to help one deal with SolidWorks continued
serious limitation of working with dumb solids.

LOL! Babble on Jon, just babbling away as usual. Rattling off a bunch
of buzzwords that have nothing to do with anything being discussed by
the people who actually work in real shops.

THANKS!! Bonnie Yonkers!!
I was just thinking this morning how it is that there are these god on-
topic threads, and the scene from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" comes to
mind. Yonnie staring at the screen, steam shooting out of his ears,
his head ready to explode. He has nothing he can contribute to the
thread, but he HAS to insert his Inane babble into the thread.
It is like someone taps out the first part of "Shave and a Haircut"
and Yonnie's little head is going crazy, he can't hold back any
longer... He has to...

So, Thanks for the insane rant once again.
Can you find any more good material Yonnie?
That part about the "Advanced Roll Cage Construction" for a tool box
was really funny.
Maybe you can get all made and start ranting like crazy again.

Just throwing a few ideas out for you, I know you can be under a lot
of pressure to be as funny as you usually are.
Looking forward...

SW is a pretty good CAM package, is it?
Post pics of YOUR work using it for such.

How many holes did you drill?

Um... [presents free ticket to the Clue Train]

This is the ProE... that's *Pro/Engineer*... forum.
NOT the Mastercam, Solidworks, Gumball GUI, or CircleJerkFlameWars
forum.

So shoo.

No, it isn't, you clueless Google Groups loser. It isn't a 'Forum'.
It is just more mindless drivel that was cross posted to five Usenet
newsgroups:

news:comp.cad.solidworks
news:rec.crafts.metalworking

Yep. A quick glance through the list of replies looks like this was
staying in AMC, until Jonny "look at me!" Bonkers interjected with his
nonsensical blabbering, and decided that 5 other groups needed to see
how stupid he is too.

All your posts are worthless drivel because you're a fucking moron and
a complete loser.

Suggest you hang yourself in the nearest closet because you're as
powerless as the real/fake Joe788 is and just like that worthless
loser you can't do a good damn thing about it except whine like the
cunt you truly are.

If I wanted a real answer I'd e-mail Dave Thomson. I'm sure when he
can take a break from being sued by Out House Solutions for having the
nerve to offer real value to Out House Solutions customers he will
respond to your e-mail.
