I only write grievances because I know nothing will change.

Suppose you got two locations one is anywhere around a circle. The circle is at 45 degrees from at least one nominal plane. The other point is on a line located also at some off angle. You want the straight distance.

In NX this is simple… Point to point minimum for example would get that dimension. Otherwise you can use the circle as the plane of orientation and measure up towards the line. Anyone who has ever done this by hand and has some background in calculus could figure out a way. But not solid works. No sirybob! That’s a $10k feature a year if you need it!

How about a green hue theme for the entire app? No problem! That’s the next upgrade! And screw you if you don’t upgrade because anything someone opens with the new version is magically not backwards compatible! Fuck solid works! Stop using this stupid software.

    I’ve moved on with my life lol. I should do a video demo of how its done on NX. Its so incredibility intuitive. I haven’t touched NX in the good part of a year. Maybe 6 months. Unlike in klunker solidworks, NX will always give you the answers you are looking for.

      I’ve never had the opportunity to work with NX. I love SW, but it is very quirky and finding solutions to problems is not easy. You shouldn’t need to log into a forum to read the responses of commonly asked questions.

      Would love to see a video of NX. You should share that.
