Okay, this is a general question, and primarily pertains tothe upcoming 2009 release.
Maybe it's just the way I use surfaces in Solidworks, but I have amajor stability problem, and have had since I started using them acouple years ago.
Once I have surface geometry on the screen, I don't dare go back upthe list and change or add something, or I end up with a sea of reddown the list after that change. This is a roughly 75% of the timeoccurrence. It isn't a big problem if I'm just getting started, butafter 3+ hours work, it really starts to cut into productivity ifit's necessary to step one-by-one through all the errors to cleanthem up, or to simply delete everything after the change andeffectively start over.
I was recently at the local SW2009 "What's New" seminar and posedthe question regarding surface stability, and received firststunned blank stares from the presenters, then a response to thenegative regarding any kind of enhancement on the surface side.
Unless I'm alone here, and don't really know how to best utilizesurfaces, shouldn't there be enough people out there asking forthis one aid to getting work done in a reasonable amount of time?
Okay, I'm finished whining for the moment.SolidworksSurfacing
