That's really unfortunate. I use CATIA at work, and I used to have so many issues with it. Well, I had one issue with it that occurred all the time. I would get the "Click OK to Terminate" problem where you could only click it and it closed and I lost everything since my last save.

That issue turned out to be a Dell video driver. Back to Solidworks - I have had it unexpectedly close on me 3 or 4 times in the past year. I think that is good based on my CATIA experience.

    Huh, I've been using the educational version of Solidworks for the past 10-ish years and have not had that experience.

    It's always worked fine for me. Worked on my 7 or 8 year old desktop computer running Windows 7 and then 10. And works on my new Win 11 desktop.

    I use it almost daily for designing 3D printed parts and stuff to cut on my CNC machine.

    Here's a bird carrying case I designed last night in about 4 hours. I have more work to do, but I feel like I am over the hump on the design.

    My only bitch is the newest version required Win 11. Other than that I have been happy with it. I am getting it for US$20/year as a veteran.

    There is a demand for locally printed whistles for communities where ICE is or forecast to be.

    If you are interested in printing whistles for your area, search "ICE whistles [your area]". You can use either your state or major nearby city. If you are interested in printing whistles, but can't find anything, let me know and I can see if I can find a local org you can support.

     

    I usually spend some time on OfferUp looking at things I might be interested in buying used because why not. I am interested in seeing if I can get some Milwaukee Packout cases slightly used for a deal.

    Did a search for "Milwaukee" and got more than 14 pages of posts from a single pawn shop. Most of the ads aren't even selling anything they are just the same text on all of them.

    WE ARE LOOKING TO BUY TOOLS DEWALT, MILWAUKEE, MAKITA, SNAP ONE, MAC TOOLS, ALL HIGH END BRANDS - USED IN GOOD CONDITION! MESSAGE WHAT U HAVE OR CALL TO DISCUSS XXX-XXX-XXXX

    One of the posts was the same item for sale, but posted like 25 times.

    Apparently, caps-lock is where it's at. Anyway, if this is not cleaned up by the OfferUp spam patrol, is there another Craigslist / OfferUp that doesn't have this quantity of spam?
