As burden and overhead continue to grow and the needs/demands are met a crunch is inevitable. Once others jump in and start under cutting then the race is on to add features to fill every nook and cranny of the potential need or demand. There is rapid growth and budgets aren't very tight. Just my perception, but when someone identifies a need or demand then develops the service or product that does a good job of fulfilling that existing need they will not be able to keep up and there will be plenty of revenue. It's hard to pay for developing your software if the customer only pays for it once and uses it for years / decades. We are having the same discussion at our workplace. It's just I really get the feeling they don't care about individual users any longer. I've owned a seat of SolidWorks since '95, so some 17 years I've paid my annual stipend. Unless things get straightened out pretty quickly over in Dassault-ville, it's prolly not going to happen. I'm coming to a point where I'm going to have to make a decision as to whether or not I'm going to keep my subscription active. My interaction to get my 3DExperience account unlocked highlighted the frustration that middle level folks at Dassault have as well. The beauty of the 3dExperience website is it's broken and they know it. My VAR was extremely embarrassed about the whole thing.Īnd then to spend the kind of coin they are spending on the entire 3DExperience website, it's quite frustrating. Instead, it's arbitrarily turned it off without notice, the perpetual license was eliminated and it's now a subscription at a rate that I'm not going to fork out for something I used 2-3 times a year. Saying that, let me know and I would have gladly paid the then $50 cost for the low end version. I get it, it's not going to be free forever. The elimination of the free DraftSight version was particularly onerous. The part that sticks in your craw is when arbitrary, antagonistic decisions are made, like doing away with the 2 activation license, the license server, etc, that seem to be money grubbing bean counters at work. I don't think anyone is begrudging their need to make money. Spin the cylinder, pull the trigger and hope for the best. I'm disappointed to have 2 problems in the little time I've been using 2022. There's a couple of very minor things, which may or may not be correctable with a setting.Ģ020 had it's issues, but for the most part was rather stable. Lots of "Solidworks is Busy." I'm hoping this is related to the PDM upgrade, and speed will improve once my local cache is up to date. Saving, at times, was back to 2019 level. When I'm working in the program, it seems quicker. In 2 hours it hung once, which I was able to somehow recover from by killing the task in task manager. At least it is now usable, which for me, it wasn't in the past. I've tried having Enhanced Graphics on and off and I can't see any difference. The program seems more responsive rotating assemblies and in general. I upgraded from 2020 SP5 to 2022 SP2 this afternoon.
