I can't really see our new owner turning down much needed work right now to allow us to ramp up on Solidworks now either.

Someday I may sing it's praises, but for now on a busy stressful day before the holiday......F#$^$%&%*@ Solidworks
Way back in the early days I worked for a guy who paid me by the hour.

When we needed supplies he would have me sit for hours and pour through catalogs to find the best prices.

He'd get a woody if I found a deal that saved him $5's per Syquest cartridge. Then he'd buy 3 of them. He paid me $50 to save himself $15.

He is no longer in business.

The time it takes you to learn new SW is an investment in his business. If he can't find a way to make the time now then he never will.
