I wish I had Jon Banquer's SolidWorks and CAM skills but I don't. Sometimes I get very angry that Jon Banquer makes me look so dumb and so stupid and that's why I posted as Larry Rozer and said what I said.

I am a Pro-e user (75% design time) and SolidWorks user (25% of design time) and can use any information on making my time faster and easier. Thanks for the tips and information. Keep up the good work. Alex I am new to your site and like what I see.

Jon isn't an engineer, he is a self proclaimed high school drop out, CNC Programmer/Machinist.

Unfortunately, there are guys like Jon in the world. They truly believe in their irrational rants. He is notorious for going on and on, complaining for the sake of complaining. Does it make the CAD world a better place? Does it make SW better/worse? No!

Why? Because its all in the numbers. You will always have the “jons” of the world that are rude, irrational and not quite connected with mainstream engineering. They tend to muddy the waters but are generally ignored.

I am not implying he isn't a good engineer or a bad person. I don't know him personally.

I only have seen his rants over the years. Sad, really.

Keep up the good work, Alex. In the end, its your blog, you can do or say whatever you want.

You will remember in our dealings in alt.cad, I always responded to you with the highest level of respect. I believe that you should always treat others with differing views as you would want them to treat you, especially in a public forum like the usenet. But now you have done the equivalent of coming into my house, insulting my family, kicking the dog and pissing in the fish tank. And for what? Because I want to share my experience and knowledge with others?

I am not a SolidWorks apologist. No CAD software is perfect. But instead of concentrating on the drawbacks of the most popular 3D CAD package in the world, I try to teach users how to use the tools available to them. It is not to say that other CAD packages are not better. I am sure there are others that would completely blow SolidWorks out of the water but they are not what I and my readers use on a daily basis. If you feel that your CAD package is so great, awesome! Talk about it, write about, show your friends…make the case for it's place in the engineering world…on your blog. Don't come to my blog and try to start a flame war just because I choose to teach SolidWorks.

I do not believe in censorship and I do not want to delete your comments and band you but I must respectfully ask that you refrain from making my home a pigsty like you made alt.cad.
