I'm not so disappointed by sw, especially the latest versions. I would point out that my geometries and relationships are rather simple to achieve and I do not often have to push industrialization. for the sector I treated, what I do is already science fiction. with sw what interests me more, in addition to a modeling of easy approach and stable in the changes, it is extrapolate how much more data and possible. in sw I define cycles times and processing costs with such a simple system that if they gave me all the packages currently present on the market, I would not change. It is also true that I was lucky to have met him as the first software on the road, but if I had met before pro/e or pro/e had proposed on the market with a decent guide a bit before I had already developed my method, I would have without hesitation chosen pro/e.
As for the help desk, unfortunately dassault technicians do not have an open program that allows them to give solutions to all, and if they have a solution this must yield first of all to the pressures of mother catia.

hi geppeto, I wanted to ask you if you ever used this method in practice. is extremely stable and functional in other cads, like the "different" that uses your brother, but in swx? I have often used the equations a little heavily repented and had to put a piece on it later. ...

I allow myself to provide my experience about the use of equations:
the products "simil-di serie" that we produce are born from some standard assemblies heavily structured with equations that connected together and parts.
this at the beginning (some time ago) because as soon as the assemblies become big slow and often in making "pack and go" equations lose references.
then we are modifying some models, always using equations but to control layout of assemblies on which to build the parts; avoiding as much direct links within the equations between both sides.

from what I understand you came to my conclusion, I just tested them.
