Alibre's Greg Milliken Is As Dishonest As They Come

How long is it going to be before more users / bloggers start speaking
up about how dishonest Alibre's CEO Greg Milliken is? For example all
you can read on Deelip Menezes blog it total bull**** rather than
users being allowed to state how really ****ed up Alibre really is and
how dishonest their CEO Greg Milliken is. I've lost count of all the
users who have abandoned ****p because Alibre won't fix the basics that
have been broken in Alibre for so long.

A specific example of how ****ed Alibre is, is that Alibre doesn't
allow a user to create what SolidWorks calls Reference Geometry
Coordinate Systems. Mastercam has the same thing and calls them Works
Coordinate Systems or WCS's. Without this ability a CAM users is
forced to translate the geometry from it's original datum.... a big no-
no and not allowed by larger / smarter companies. Despite this FACT,
Alibre CEO Greg Milliken claims to understand what CAM users really
need. What a ****ing joke... this lying idiot couldn't machine his way
out of a paper bag and hasn't got clue one on what tools serious
machining job shops really need.

While I don't like how poorly a job SolidWorks bloggers have done on
the need for direct geometry editing tools and / or a better Feature
Manager *until* Siemens/UGS made their announcement a week ago, at
least one SolidWorks blogger has experienced exactly what kind of liar
Alibre CEO Greg Milliken really is. I've know it for years as Greg
Milliken once e-mailed me and promised the next release of Alibre
would incor****ate the surfacing tools that are in the ACIS kernel
which Alibre uses. Needless to say this didn't happen and still hasn't
happened. If you haven't already check out these links:

I think its time way more users started speaking up about this kind of
crap. Greg Milliken is little more than a dishonest ex AutoCAD
salesman who lies on a frequent basis. I have no doubt that what
happened to the SolidWorks blogger I linked to above is true based on
my experiences with Alibre CEO Greg Milliken. Too bad as it doesn't
have to be this way but that's the kind of person Alibre CEO Greg
Milliken is.
