How To Avoid Being a SolidWorks Ass…embly

Started by Josh M · 10 months ago

Oh, stop it. That title is just too clever.
It’s hard to believe there would be any rude, self-serving miscreants in the realm of SolidWorks, but you watch. One day your helping old ladies take their meds, next day your making everyone change part colors and capitalize th ... Continue reading »

    Never let the Boss see your fully customized SolidWorks Drawing Template. You know, the one that will create a fully dimensioned and annotated 3 view drawing with only one click.

    Um, sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh, as I have been guilty of #1 and #6.

    Sorry, but just like SOME people shouldn't be allowed to have kids, or drive a car, SOME people should never be allowed to get behind a keyboard/mouse of a CAD system.

    I would have worded it this way..."We shouldn’t let SOME employees load settings because they might royally **** something up and destroy all the hard work the competent SW users have put into building a good, robust CAD/PDM system for the company to make money with by getting products out the door on time..."

    For #6, the employee had been fired from the company almost a year prior, so it was not a direct embarrassment to him, but served well to help other see what not to do.

    Ok Josh, let me have it. I have my ear-muffs in place. Punch away.

    You got me scared, I'm quilty too. I think I'm going to lose my arms very soon.

    Is it possible to have a video clip of you showing those hand movements, that would be cool.

    actually Bruce, you're right. I wouldn't give anybody free reign to destroy a lot of hard work. It's really important to show them the 'how', otherwise their mistake is my fault too.

    Now that wasn't to rough huh? Glad it made you laugh too :)

    Does #5 hold true for Inventor users as well? Because I just can't help myself!

    Thats hilarious, and the thrird one down fits the guy who works next to me very well to thepoint where I end uphaving to just walk away from the extream amount of laughter it causes in the room. Can you make fun of Auto Cad people if you were wonce one yourself?

    This article was really funny. It would be funny though, to see someone post some of their sucky models up in the board. I would have to laugh histarically at them. If it was me I know i would be embarrassed to do that.

    You know if you think about it, we live in a 3D world. So number 2 we all do. If we lived in 2D, than it would be kind of hard to comunicate to each other. "Hey you on the third sheet of paper, will you extrude this drawing for me?" I liked #5 even though I probably will do that in the future.

    I thought that the article was kind of funny, I just never realized howmany people out there do ridiculous things like that. I guess you just learn something new everyday, the mating part reminded me of somebody in my CADD class.
