Calling ALL CAD Administrators

I would really like to know if there are others CAD Admins out there who feel like they struggle with supporting SolidWorks.  I have to support four different sites, all in four different locations, and users with all different skills sets.  I can't even begin to tell you all my problems because I would be writing this all day along.  So what I am going to do is tell you the one thing and hope you all add to it.  Maybe we could all give examples of how to fix others problems.  So here goes...

  • I have been fighting the instablity of SolidWorks since I installed 2008 SP1.  We are currently using 09 SP4 and I will not move to 10' until SP4 or SP5 comes out.

Ok, I am going to give you one more thing I deal with and I think I need experienced CAD Admin's for this one.

  • Out of 65 Engineers and such a broad skill set of users, I can not get everyone on the same page.  Some users just get it, some are still making the same mistakes and all I here from management is, "what are you doing to fix this?"  Its not like I can sit at everyone machine and help them out doing there work.  Does anyone have any ideas that have worked for them?

If you are still reading this, thanks for your time!
