Hey, I agree totally when it comes to an engineering compromise based on our professional judgement. The compromise that leaves a sour taste in my mouth is where Marketing force an overly expensive 'Feature' on a product with a fixed budget. You as a designer are then often forced to produce a...

Perhaps I'm paranoid but 'motion detection' feature sounds like a bosses tool to detect if you're working or not... ~:o) Sorry Kroth but I disagree that SW should become the 'Windows' of the CAD world. Good competition leads to competative (inventive/productive) products. If SW had such a...
