"Yes AI is cad. I can do the same basic things with AI as I can do with Solidworks. Some things are easier with AI some things aren't. I find it best to learn as many cad packages as possible and learn all of the tricks ."

Paul Hamilton Latest Blog Post

Paul Hamilton, a member of SpaceClaiming community working for part of the CoCreate, doesn't post very frequently on his blog, but when he does it's because he has something interesting to say.

The last blog post of the year analyzes the confusion in the CAD products taxonomy and classification. Technical terms like history-based, parametric, history-free, direct, explicit, synchronous, dynamic, etc. are… Continue

TransMagic 64-Bit Shatters the Limits to Large CAD File Translation

TransMagic, Inc., developer of 3D CAD data exchange products announced the first release of a true 64-bit version of their flagship product, TransMagic EXPERT. Translating large 3D design files is a memory-intensive operation that has been very challenging, primarily due to system memory restrictions. TransMagic 64-Bit permanently changes the landscape for large CAD file translation by solving this common manufacturing problem. TransMagic reports that the new platform offers 10-20%… Continue

Interview with Andrea Carignano, CEO seac02 (LinceoVR)

Italy is a country famous for several reasons. Among them: artistic and historical monuments, great food, fashion, music, and sport cars. Software and technology are seldom added to the list. So when you happen to meet the CEO of a successful Italian software company, the first reaction is always some sort of surprise: "Software?" If the CEO in front of your is Andrea Carignano, and the company is seac02, the initial surprise quickly disappears replaced by excitement for the type of… Continue

Ok no problem franco,

Did you get a chance to see the videos, if so what was it that was wrong with them so i know for any future posts. i do understand that posting that many videos at once was probably not the best thing to do but that's a lesson learnt.

thanks for you're feedback

I am currently a CAD/CAM technician, my background is in the woodworking industry participially architectural joinery. I started my career as a bench monkey like most but soon found myself in the pre preproduction department after a few years hard work. This then led me into software for the woodworking industry. As a bonus i also strayed into 3D visualization and i am currently still creating visuals booth in my own time and for various clients. so i do believe i have something to offer the network and i look forward to participateing. just to clear up the videos that i posted, yes i do work for a company that supply's software solutions & consultation to the wood working industry, the software that i tried to show members is 3D Analyzer Software it is built by woodworkers and for woodworkers and i believe that it is a very powerfull, so do SolidWorks , AlphaCAM & Autodesk as we are solution partners with these top CAD companys. In summery i am here to help people on you're network not spam or fleece them.

Hi Franco,

I'm happy to join this community. I really like the concept of SpaceClaim, but unfortunately you can obviously notice that it's a relatively young program.

And I like to share my user experience with the developers to speed up the enhancements. I have a word document full of enhancement requests, with screenshots and everything. When I experience something strange or if I think of a possibility to further improve the program I update this word file.

Do you know if there's someone that I can email this file to every now and then? Yourself maybe? Are you one of the Spaceclaim developers?

Please let me know!

Best Regards,
Tijs

Hi Franco!! that was a quick reply and approval! Thanks! Sure, I will try to put up my pic :) asap. This looks like a cool community where all can "share" there views and ideas.Though my current field is with integration of CAD tools with PLM, I remember my good old MCAD days with SolidWorks as an AE. And all those MCAD wars about different functionalities and features, cool stuff.BTW why there is no Pro/E Group?
