The Jon Banquer Blog Has Moved!

I've decided against updating this blog because of Blogspot's policies. Recently this blog was closed for two weeks because of fake spam complaints by people who hate what I post... and that's a lot of people. ;>) It was restored with no editing and no censorship but I was never notified why by Blogspot. This kind of business practice isn't acceptable to me and I've moved my blog to:

http://jonbanquer.wordpress.com/

If you wish to understand just how fucked up Blogspot is and how many people they are screwing over with their censorship because of their spam problem then I suggest you read this post and this newsgroup and you will see just how many innocent bloggers are getting screwed because of Blogspots policies and by Blogspot not communicating with bloggers. It's just pathetic and I refuse to support a business that's run as poorly as Blogspot is.

How Will Siemens Competitors React To Synchronous Technology?

It's now very clear to some of us that SolidWorks, Inventor, Pro/E, IronCAD, CoCreate, VX, KeyCreator, etc. are in big trouble because of Siemens Synchronous Technology.

It should come as no surprise that manufacturing idiot and SolidWorks blogger, Matt Lombard labeled Synchronous Technology "Ho-Hum" on his blog. Today in yet another desperate attempt to discredit Synchronous Technology Lombard is calling Solid Edge and UG NX "FrankenCAD".

It should now be clearer than ever how full of shit Matt Lombard really is to those who are objective. Unfortunately most CAD and CAM users aren't objective. None of this "Ho-Hum" and "FrankenCAD" crap about Synchronous Technology came as any surprise to those who had read what Matt Lombard posted to Usenet in regards to manufacturing solutions for years. If you did read his posts to Usenet it quickly became clear that Matt Lombard was totally out of touch with the tools needed in a CADCAM system.

It's almost a given that Synchronous Technology is going to have a huge impact and it seems to me someone should be asking Mike Payne of SpaceClaim if their team can implement the same thing in the other programs I mentioned.

If the companies named do nothing to respond to what Siemens/UGS has they are going to get blown out of the water should Siemens do the proper marketing of this technology.

The good news is that from all signs so far it does appear that Siemens is prepared to do what it takes to gobble up SolidWorks and others market share. Getting users to accept that they need to make a major change in the way they do things isn't going to be an easy task or pretty. It takes "gorilla marketing" tactics.

Some of us have waited a very long time for Synchronous Technology and we can’t wait to get our hands on using it. In four weeks or so everyone will have the chance to try it out and compare notes.

Design Freedom

If you haven't already, or you haven't lately you should check out Evan Yares blog. Evan Yares has got it right when it comes to just how big of an impact Synchronous Technology is going to have.

"If you hear someone say "that's nothing new," don't believe them. Synchronous Technology is a big deal."

"As far as CAD users are concerned, the result of Synchronous Technology is that they can take an existing model (native or imported), make changes to it with no limitations from the history tree, and add new intelligence (constraints and driving dimensions), again, with no limitations from the history tree."

"Siemens has started to use the term Design Freedom to describe the capabilities provided by Synchronous Technology. Probably a pretty good term."
