The reason is that many SolidWorks customers are sick and tired of
bells and whistles and no tools that are really need and that they
have been waiting years for.

Without tools like this there will be no upgrade to SW 2009 either. It
doesn't matter how many times SolidWorks employee Joe Dunne claims in
a video on CADJunky that this SolidWorks release is the "best ever"
like he did for SolidWorks 2008.

Matt Lombard:

Wrong again on the tools needed by those who work in machining job
shops who are asked to modify their customers designs.

Completely out of touch with those that are handed someone else=92s
design and are asked to modify it.

Franco Folini Of Novedge:

Wrong again about almost everything he comments on in regards to CAD.
The reason is he Folini is trying to protect the products and vendors
he represents at Novedge. Siemens/UGS products are not sold by
Novedge.
