Geometry Lock has been mentioned on a few sites as of late.

That is, STOP the features from REBUILDING at a point in time.

For instance,.. an example of SolidWorks Corp's POOR PROGRAMMING...
Remove or delete a NON releted feature (even a sketch of a sketch
image or a simple unrelated feature) and the WHOLE feature list
rebuilds!?!?!?!?!?!

TOTALLY UNPRODUCTIVE PISS POOR PROGRAMMING!!!!

This have been happening since I've used this PIECE OF CRAP modeler
back in 1998!!!

I wanted to remind people that this NOT NEW, it has been a LONG OVER
DUE REQUEST where by SolidWorks Corp has CONTINUED to NOT APPLY NEEDED
CUSTOMER REQUEST to enhance PERFORMANCE and PRODUCTIVITY!!!!!

Instead, SolidWorks Corp CONTINUES to release HALF BAKED UNPRODUCTIVE
CRAP the users DO NOT NEED or WANT! Or, add crap AutoCad users miss/
need!?!?!!?

So, if you have some free time.... please, write to SolidWorks Corp
and tell them to STICK IT UP THEIR ASS!!!!

Thanks.. 8^)

Well, well, well,... I don't know, I know.... what are constraints,..
I've never heard of constraints!????

Wow... that is news to me.. and I've used 3D since the late
eighties... oh boy, learn something every day...

Inventor??? Please,.. go to the AutoDe$k newsgroup. Now, that is a
company who knows 3D and how far to stick it up!???

Anyhow, back to reality,.. or, if you did know anything about
SolidWorks or constraint based solvers,.. the rebuilds happen with
entities and features which DO NOT HAVE CONSTRAINTS, OR PARENTS
(default planes), FOR THIS TO HAPPEN! It's called.... PISS POOR
PROGRAMMING! It's really that simple.

Ah,... never mind,.. maybe this has always been the problem with
SolidWorks and other dysfunctional 3D programs... the majority of
users don't have a FUCKING CLUE how to use the program!?!?!?

You could take a break and download IronCAD V10 and see if it really
does a much better job with large assemblies like they claim. I wish I
had the time right now. Spending all my time working with the
developers of HSMWorks because CAM is badly lagging CAD.

www.hsmworks.com

"Single design environment - IronCAD is very unique in that it does
not require the support of a separate assembly and part file, instead
it only requires a single file which has the ability to support both
parts and assemblies seamlessly. This approach allows the user to
effortlessly move between part and assembly design. It allows parts to
be created in context to the full assembly model without having to
setup a constraint relationship first. This fully-integrated
environment allows the user to let the assembly structure evolve
within a single file, and and at any time link out or insert files as
required to create the desired assembly structure."

ya...welll I was interested in DOOFUS CAD but you have screwwed that
up for me.

that leaves me STUCK with Inventor where i have to constrain every
little thing or it screws up when all I want to do is make a living
hussling business for fab shops.

and for YOUR information.. constraint means clicking the little fix
point button a lot.
whatever.. we know what you dknow now....zipppp. and you TRASHED
DOOFUS CAD.

OK now here is a test to sse if you have been around long enough...
what color were the diamonds and who the hell is little darlin?

well... out with it....

I thought so NO dAMN CLOO.

Paul,

I think they do that now in a totally transparent and uncontrolable
way. If you have tried to get a model, drawing or assembly to totally
rebuild at some point you will realize that nothing you can do will
always get the job done. But something like a roll back bar that stops
activity above it isn't a bad thought if it is possible. A feature
tree that shows where the branchs are wouldn't be a bad thing either.

No shit, Sherlock. Making the FeatureManager easy to follow
(especially when you didn't create the part / assembly) should be the
top priority for SolidWorks 2009. I can't think of anything that needs
to be revamped in SolidWorks more than this.
