CAD Data Management Chaos
Engineering teams struggle with disconnected CAD files, BOMs, and revisions, causing version confusion, lost work, and collaboration breakdowns.
In their words
it's ridiculous to charge 8600€+3year mandatory "service" fees for a standard seat
I need Solidworks to be fast. Really fast. We have processors, graphics card and memory to throw at it. Why is it still single core? why does it still crash
BECS completely stuffs up a Projectwise to Projectwise/Forma transfer, ruining the metadata in that project and then wipes out all of its own configurations
I'm 45mins in to the update. That's 45mins of lost productivity due to SolidWorks. 10-15% of my working day, gone.
we're finding it harder to keep BOM's, revisions, engineering changes, and supplier information aligned across the team
we desperately need a PLM tool to create streamlined change management workflows and processes to quell this chaos
Figuring out why civil 3D fatal-errored after moving a single surface contour
Solidworks crashing on a 2000$ approved laptop
Fusion absolutely sucks when multiple people have to work on one larger assembly.
These artifacts often become disconnected: calculations live in spreadsheets or notebooks, CAD has its own revision history, BOMs are separate, and test results are in documents.
What takes him hours is getting the numbers into a state where he can build it.
once the drawing is pulled up on the CNC machine, it's accessible to anyone, any ideas on how to quarantine this?
This seems like it might be good way to guard state transitions in my PLM/PDM project
The biggest technical problem, ATM, is getting the thing to reason CAD-aware, or, barring CAD with its towering overheads, just reasoning via geometry relationships
Engineering and manufacturing teams
Where they talk
- r/SolidWorks
- r/AutodeskInventor
- r/MechanicalEngineering
- r/hwstartups
- r/civilengineering
- r/Onshape
- r/Fusion360
- r/Machinists
Tools they use today
- SolidWorks
- Excel
- Inventor
- Fusion 360
- OpenBOM
- Duro
- Onshape
- Altium
Why those fall short
- crashes after moving a contour; PMs don't understand Revit limits
- crashes on approved $2000 laptop; crash reporter also crashes
- manual revision control is sensitive to mistakes and requires lots of manual work
- SolidWorks too expensive; Fusion limited in assembly system
- translation is lossy and models show up as empty sets
