I’d like to start a thread, the theme of which is basically, “If you like X , then you may want to try Y ”. No topic restrictions - could be cars, movies, sexual positions, political candidates, beers... For example:

If you listen to The Dwarves , you may enjoy Anal Cunt .

(It’s a real band, i swear.)

What say you guys? Any recos you’d like to share with the masses?

If you drive a Lexus HS250h, you might as well kill yourself. You are already dead.

If you play video games on PC, you should try Dota 2. I’ll teach anyone who wants to play, how.

If you play DOTA 2, you should check out BFME 1, 2, RotWK and Edain mod.

If you like the gameplay of Dota 2, but don’t want something that’s intentionally hard to learn with an extremely toxic playerbase, you should try League of Legends.

I’ve not had the pleasure (???) of using CATIA, but if its any consolation, the latest iteration of Civil3D is buggy, crashy garbage.

Well, I was going for honest recommendations on things, but I also know how these things go on the internet, and yall have a good sense of humor here, so I’m happy with any answers.

All MOBAs have toxic player bases. It’s part of what comes with being a MOBA.

The only place on the internet where you have more people you’ve never even met call you a faggot is 4chan. In a close second; MOBAs.

I also have not had the opportunity to use CATIA, but would actually like to learn since it appears most auto manufacturers use CATIA. Or at least Tesla does.

What would be the competing product for CATIA in your industry? Solidworks?

This is probably true for CATIA V4, which the last company I worked at was still doing new design in (this was 2009, roughly 10 years after V4 went obsolete). V5, not as bad as IDEAS. I assume V6 is comparable to NX since much of the auto industry uses either CATIA or NX. All that I will say is that, for automotive or other large things, CATIA and NX are the way to go. SolidWorks is a fucking joke for vehicle type CAD work, end of story.

Solidworks and UG NX. UG is what I use.

CATIA is used by a lot of automotive companies and for the life of me I can’t understand why.

Trust me, I know how toxic MOBAs are. A friend of mine used to play Heroes of Newearth, where telling your teammates to kill themselves was a vital part of every character build.

As a longtime (Season 2) League of Legends player who has tried DotA 2, I would rather insert a hot soldering iron in my pee hole than play DotA 2 ever again.

I’ve used CATIA V5 very lightly. Enough to update drawing views, attach dimensions, etc and my professional trade is UG NX.

CATIA just makes me shudder everytime I have to use it. I want to find the person who decided that it was a good idea to hardlink .CATParts/Products with .CATDrawings by using a fucking hash algo.

There’s things that get my goat with UG NX as well, but nothing like CATIA.

We have a similar situation on the civil side, with AutoCAD and MicroStation. Microstation is the exact opposite of intuitive.

spanfucker retire bitch > and 100 more 05/01/2015 at 13:25

I had no idea MicroStation was still being used.

Then again, I also despise AutoCAD. I pretty much can’t stand any 2D, non-parametric CAD software. I remember the first time back in high school I went from AutoCAD to Inventor and I thought to myself; “Why the fuck does ANYONE still use non-parametric CAD software?!?”

Yeah, Microstation is still used a lot by large state-related bodies (transportation orgs like CalTrans, TxDOT). If you’re doing any highway improvements, the work will eventually have to be translated back to a Microstation-readable format. They’ve made it better as far as UI goes, but not by leaps and bounds.

As for 2D, I know what you mean, but for civil work there’s simply not a big enough need for full-3D modeling. We do grading, and things like street and pipe profiles in 3D, but we don’t require a fully-functional 3D modeller to do it. The most 3-dimensional work I’ve done in years has been modelling concrete outlet structures for detention ponds, and there’s enough 3D capability in vanilla ACAD for that. BIM guys probably do more 3D work than we do.

I did dabble with Rhino3D yeeeeears ago, and I loved it, but civil is where I make my bread and butter, and I don’t have a decent CAD machine at home anymore.

I wouldn’t mind 2D programs as much if they were just parametric. Granted, it’s been a while since I last used AutoCAD, but I just couldn’t understand why it wasn’t updated so that the dimensions that you added were what drove the features, instead of being driven by the features.

That change alone would make it so much better.

and 100 more > spanfucker retire bitch 05/01/2015 at 13:50

Agreed, to an extent... I’ll be honest, I think it’s a lowest-common-denominator issue - they can get more people using ACAD by letting them freehand and add dimensions later, than by forcing them to build parametrically. It also gives them more flexibility to push ACAD as a platform for vertical products.

Plus, we deal with a lot more vagueries than you do, I’m assuming. We have surveys don’t line up correctly, things are out of the assigned coordinate base... the fudge factor comes into play quite a bit. I’d imagine, based on what you said, that if you’re making parts for anything like cars or large machinery, then you’re dealing with a lot of pre-determined standardized dimensions and tight tolerances. We often get plans from architects that have a “tolerance” of ±2 inches . I’m so glad that contractors can build half the shit they’re given on plans.

spanfucker retire bitch > and 100 more 05/01/2015 at 13:53

Heh, yeah. Most of the tolerances I deal with are .1mm, give or take. Some are even lower than .01mm.

Do you use any sort of data management software like TeamCenter? I haven't used any besides TeamCenter but it largely solves the issues with file association and storage. Basically every automotive OEM uses it.

spanfucker retire bitch > Racescort666 05/01/2015 at 18:45

It’s a complicated situation - the answer is basically Teamcenter is used, but I and my co-workers don’t use it. We desperately want to though.

But that’s not the issue with CATIA. The issue with CATIA is if you want to relink a different .CATPart or .CATProduct with a Save-as .CATDrawing - you can’t. Not without using some fucking macro script, because the hashes don’t match.

I’ve never encountered a single other CAD program that does it like that.

Went to an aerospace school and learned catia there. I use solidworks for work now. Catia is really good at doing complex curvature, like air foils or body panels
