![]() That whole thing really grates me though as I follow the lesson of the Boy Who Cried Wolf.Įdit: GTAC is awesome, I must make sure to mention that any time I am critical of Solid Edge or Siemens. You will not get changes or hot fixes without the person that cuts the POs for maintenance to start saying things like “…if this is not resolved in the given amount of time we will need to look into other solutions.” It’s amazing how fast things can turn around once those stake holders get involved. The whole thing is driven by greed, I mean money money comes from new sales, new sales only come from marketing (or so the marketing people say and since they are the most skilled at convincing others they win) so marketing drives the bus, not tech support, not development planning. However, following a significant upgrade of the software, Dassault systems, its developers, now only offer a paid version of DraftSight, beginning with the 2019. One of the primary reasons behind this software package’s popularity is that it was free. You don’t have to mean it just threaten it, I’d be ready to back it up though. With DraftSight, you can create, edit, view, and markup various kinds of 2D and 3D files. I get the feeling that in general the only way for an existing subscription paying customer to get attention from any of these Software companies is to inform them you’ll not be renewing your licenses. I guess it’s the art of negotiation, I don’t really play that game, I say what I mean and mean what I say. Both our SE VAR and Siemens didn’t think we were serious for several weeks so it seems like the only way to get traction is with threats. They had plenty of opportunities before that. I think what they meant was they were not given a fair shot at solving the issues after we informed them we were no longer buying their product. Do you want to convert a PDF file to a DWG file Dont download software - use Zamzar to convert it for free online. They claimed they were not given a fair shot at solving the clearly outlined issues. You can open DWG files without AutoCAD using alternative software such as Autodesk DWG TrueView, DWGSee, DraftSight, and others. The VAR scrambled to fix things but it was too late, of course they wanted a meeting which we obliged, they thought they were going to win back the business we considered it a courtesy interview. I met several nice people from the Eastern US Siemens office right quick after that. I had not heard from Siemens, except for when they tried to sell us TeamCenter, until we informed them we were not renewing subscription a couple years ago. ![]() If we switch to SE or IV one of the biggest considerations will be how Siemens and Autodesk treats their existing customers at this point.
