IronCAD, anyone convert from it?

[sworks]

Just curious if anyone here has converted from IronCAD to Solidworks. Looking for feedback, experiences and comparisons of thsoe that have made the switch. Do you regret it, was it the best thing you ever did? Tools in one or the other that you like/miss?

Check out similar threads (search for Inventor, ACAD, etc in this forum) and see what people post. I think you'll find most people love SW and the 3D environment. This issue probably depends primarily on what you need the package to do and what sorts of things you're designing.

A place I am no longer at went from SolidWorks to IronCAD back to SolidWorks. Since IronCAD is all but gone (I heard only 3,000 seats worldwide once) there is nothing that anyone writes to help with this. When I was there, there were three things we did.

a) exported to parasolid and brought in and used as a dumb solid
b) exported and used feature works to bring it back
c) re drew the part completely.

IronCAD is a piece of garbage. No one sells and supports it in my area anymore. You can't get local training. And no one local uses it either. It's a pile get rid of it and switch.

kmaren,

It's not healthy to hold things in. Let it go, you'll feel much better!
