And if not full time, how many hours a week do you use Punch CAD? Mike... I could not currently use VC/Shark full time, it gives me an headache. Far too many inconsistencies/ error popups for my liking. But one of the main reasons I dont like to use VC/shark a lot is I dont like the display/view. I like to work in a correct perspective view. Currently with VC/shark that cannot be done. Even the poly modeling software I use (even open source) has a correct/workable opengl perspective view. (maybe the bad perspective view is just PC related, I dont know, but Tim just ignores all posts concerning the view/opengl).

Not fulltime PunchCAD, other CAD and modeling apps too. Depending on what the job requires. That being said, I've enjoyed the Shark open beta and it's convinced me to move up from VC 2D/3D.

I am using shark fx full time to design furniture , and door hardware . I typically design the item and then the corresponding foundry tool , and assembly jigs and fixtures, I also do some contract designing.Yes there are frustrations, but over the years I have seen improvements and responses to the various issues.I have not explored Rhino or other software but remain interested in cad / cam intergration and wether I can make animations work to realise simple mechanisms. To maintain the loyal customer base I hope the committed posters keep posting and the committed developers keep developing. Thanks to all.
