It actually complicates CAD library management. The single-project-file structure isn't particularly valuable (S/W has the Pack-and-Go feature).
It was a bit galling to see the heavily-discounted price offers right after I paid a higher price, and I now see that you tricked your new users into buying a soon-to-be-obsolete version.īeing barred from having an account in the forum simply because I chose to purchase a perpetual license and no maintenance plan was quite a slap in the face.
Having the file format change right after I purchased the software and NOT BE BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE was almost a death blow to my continuation as an IronCAD user since it prevents me from adding seats without complications or extra expense of upgrading. Not being able to export to sldasm or sldprt with the translator was an unexpected and stunning deficiency considering the price I paid for the Translator. The parametric architecture is fractured and disjointed.ĭimensioning in the 2D drawing module is too erratic to be usable.ĭimensions in the 3D module hide by default and it's hit-or-miss as to which object to activate to show a placed dimension. I started a bug list but then stopped because there were so many. It was quite expensive, considering the lack of maturity in the product. The student licensing program was fantastic before it was turned into a subscription-based model. The complementary IronCAD Compose is fabulous. The interface is far more intuitive than PTC Creo.īeing able to reorder objects in the model tree without crashing the model. This has turned into a very expensive test drive.ĭrag-and-Drop concepting/design is great.
I bought a student license and then bought a full license to do commercial work. Given that you're charging the same price as Dassault and mimicking their student license program, though, it seems that your Product Managers don't realize how far you have to go. I was really looking forward to supporting an underdog and helping you displace SolidWorks with a superior product. I've since discovered that I can buy a perpetual licenses of SolidWorks FOR THE SAME PRICE and am therefore standardizing on SolidWorks for my engineering firm. It crashed consistently with the large model I loaded, though. I also know that S/W is unstable with models over a certain size (10,000 parts, I think) and was hoping that I/C was more able to handle large models.
Underscore customizability: Want to paint that playhouse before assembling? Turn bookshelves into a bench seat? Assembly-required products encourage creativity that can spark additional sales.Comentarios: I bought IronCAD because I didn't realize that Dassault offered a perpetual license for SolidWorks. For online orders, make sure you set customer expectations for how large boxes will be delivered.Īs long as the packaging is adequate, large flat-packed products are easier to move and are more likely to arrive undamaged compared to bulky, rigid products. Highlight ease of transport: With the plummeting demand for white-glove service, the ability for large products to be easily transported is more important than ever. Communicate expectations to your customers and they will welcome the benefit of having a product delivered to their home.
They appreciate the ability to assemble or install a product themselves with contactless delivery. Tout contactless delivery: Many consumers, particularly those at higher risk for illness, are reluctant to invite white glove service technicians or professional installers into their homes because of the ongoing pandemic.
