Re: Honest Quotes About SolidWorks Serious Limations

"And geometry manipulation is a breeze because parent-child
relationships don't govern the model. Users can simplify or reorganize
assemblies and parts with no danger of damaging design intent,
destroying models, running into regeneration errors, or worrying about
failed features, regardless of whether models are native or imported."

"For example, I'm currently working on a particle accelerator for Oak
Ridge Labs in Tennessee. The accurate positioning of accelerator
components is critical, so geometry in my model seems to constantly
change. IronCAD helps speed the design by making it simple to remove
unnecessary components. I can delete or rearrange geometry without
hours of rearranging parent-child relationships."

"In a history-based modeling system, changes can pose quite a
challenge. When one feature is dependent on another, changing one
feature without affecting the other can be difficult. That's not
really a problem for IronCAD 9. The Smart Update function can reorder
the model's history tree to accommodate changes that would freak out
other systems. In-context part editing allows users to reference
geometry that follows later in the history."

"Again, in a history-based modeling system, users must do things in a
set order. One feature is dependent on what came before it.
Occasionally you'll be modeling merrily along when you find something
that you should've done earlier in the history tree. When you go back
to make a change, sometimes the geometry you want to constrain to is
gone, because it appears later on the tree. Programs like SolidWorks
won't let you reference what you want or even let you see it.
Unigraphics NX lets you see it, but won't let you constrain to it--
hardly a better solution. You're left with a lot of complicated
reordering. IronCAD 9 avoids all that by allowing users to reference
anything anywhere."
