And then to spend the kind of coin they are spending on the entire 3DExperience website, it's quite frustrating.

The beauty of the 3dExperience website is it's broken and they know it. My interaction to get my 3DExperience account unlocked highlighted the frustration that middle level folks at Dassault have as well.

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.

Unless things get straightened out pretty quickly over in Dassault-ville, it's prolly not going to happen. I've owned a seat of SolidWorks since '95, so some 17 years I've paid my annual stipend. It's just I really get the feeling they don't care about individual users any longer....

I had serious problems with pack & go in sp2 concerning broken references. Back to sp0 and it seems I can use this feature again. Why should we pay this amount of money and still suffer?

As you probably know, I was one of the people yelling loudest about the initial implementation of this "enhancement", but since they modified the behavior to build in the delay I've left that option turned on so I can use it occasionally. Before the delay I hated it with a purple passion.

In 2020 if you do a concentric mate, a 2nd set of breadcrumbs appears to allow you to flip the mate or lock the rotation. According to the SPR, that option disappears immediately after it appears. I know some people hated this feature, but I had become used to it and miss it, despite the extra clicks it requires at times.

(Kudos to the support tech at Trimech who actually did the work and attached my sn to the SPR. My previous VAR would have done less than the bare minimum.)

Tera wrote: ↑Thu Jul 21, 2022 1:56 am I hope so. Because I really can not make my boss sign for upgrading to 2023 after the mess they've caused in 2022.

"Reactivating SOLIDWORKS Perpetual Licenses
Starting with SOLIDWORKS 2022, commercial and educational customers who have purchased perpetual licenses of SOLIDWORKS products will be required to reactivate their licenses once a year. The licenses never expire but need to be reactivated periodically regardless of whether or not customers remain on subscription. Term licenses and student licenses are not affected."

Nice....
