Re: 2 Most Important Characterstics of Swks?

A large user base and all the benefits that go with it.

Example:

Because of the large SolidWorks user base we are finally seeing
quality independent documentation.... myigetit, SolidProfessor, The
SolidWorks Bible with more to appear shortly.

If VX understood how to market and didn't decide to be a niche product
I'd rather have kept using VX.

It's very sad how companies like IronCAD, VX, etc. are totally afraid
to go head to head with SolidWorks. Companies that have the balls to
go head to head seem to win. PTC back in the day didn't shy away from
going head to head and for a time they won.

We live in times were wimp marketing is the norm and it's a pathetic
situation for those that are "CAD To The Bone".
