I ask because I was thinking there are technologies, even current add-ins, that I think SWX should buy and make standard. And given the lackluster 2017 release, what am I paying for??
SolidWorks is a multi-billion dollar a year company. They should have ample resources to do this.
One problem I have all the time is dealing with imported geometry. SolidWorks is especially bad at this since it can't handle ZTG.
I would be thrilled if SWX purchased Capvidea's "FormatWorks" and offer it to us as part of our software as a legitimate upgrade to the current offering.

Then there's xpresso.
What else should be included?
