I went on a job interview yesterday and they also wanted me to do a quick solidworks test. No biggie. Ive worked with SW for 9 years up to version 2015. Well, the colors were totally different and some of the icons changed. Nothing too dramatic, but just enough to be an irritation. I was cruising along and all of the sudden my dims would not change. Click the dim and change the value and nothing. Well, this cost me 20 minutes of draw time. I assumed it was a bug and started over. I looked it up last night and there is an instant2d button on the main page that seems to have no use. I guess I hit this an toggled it on. Solidworks colors have looked the same forever, and my luck is that they change it when I need to be at my best and I want to make every minute count. It was also buggy when trying to mirror features and some issues related to constraints seemed buggy. I was rather pissed. I don't like the new colors where there is no contrast. Colors help for memory and quick reaction. I personally think this is unnecessary and cannot imagine users asking for this. I did like the move/copy button on the ribbon. I did fine on the test. The Eng manager said that he had a couple of engineers come in and couldn't do anything at all. They drew a couple of lines and that was it. I fully understand the testing. The very tricky little part went fine. I would have finished 20 minutes earlier if not for the damn instant2d feature. That is all
edit..I see that they brought back the color option. I think the company had SP1 installed.
