Beware - angry RANT

Now quite quite SICK of export problems

These things make us look CRAP !

.. Both us as designers and you as developers

After 8 years dealing with you guys, I still don't get why they don't test stuff

DING DONG !

TIME TO GET IT RIGHT

IGS export to SolidWorks 2007 SP0 & SP5 does NOT work at all
although open cover.igs from the examples folder, and it opens fine in SW

IGS import to Rhino 3 & 4 and SprutCAM imports surfaces at the right size and solids 25.4 times too big .. THAT'S JUST SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A slice through an compound model exported as igs DOES NOT retrim correctly in Rhino or SPRUT (our CAM product) .. and looks like the dog's been chewing it. I can't cut from data like this

Meanwhile we concrete our reputation for getting this stuff WRONG with our SolidWorks etc peers !

TIME FOR ACTION .. NO MORE 25.4 ERRORS .. PUT TOGETHER A SET OF SIMPLE TESTS AND .. TEST IT - B4 YOU SHIP IT !!!!!

Yup, sorry Tim- Jol's right. I tried this the other day, using IGES export from ViaCAD and all I got was a blank screen in Solidworks 2007 (SP2).

Otoh, export of STEP files, worked okay.

I received the Shark French version DVD today with a sticker on it : "PATCH 741 solves an IGES problem"...

I'll wait a little bit before installing.
Thanks Jol.
