Minus the 20,000 Dassault employees right? Wonder if individual customer users are included in that metric.dave.laban wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 3:50 am Interesting data point they've published; https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexp ... vqWYgSidwA

Re: Does anyone actually use 3DExperience in a productive manner?
That's specific to the 3Dswym. So I would assume that to be the average number of unique user names that signed in to the SWYM per month over the past six months. Considering it's one SWYMp for the entire platform of apps that number isn't staggering. It's very hard to tell but it sounds like anyone using one of the apps is signed into the platform so they are inherently signed into the SWYM. That's significantly different than forum usage metric before as there were many desktopworks users that never to seldom signed into the solidworks forum.dave.laban wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 3:50 am Interesting data point they've published; https://r1132100503382-eu1-3dswym.3dexp ... vqWYgSidwA

Wow, a year of SolidWorks Cloud for Businesses for 1,54$!
I've seen both used, but not at the same time in such a manner that could have people interpret numbers in different ways.

Reminds me of when I was working in a fab shop and the old timer they had teaching me (or trying to, I wasn't a great student). He would say to me, "Boy, you could @#!% up a two-car funeral procession!"

Got some more 3DX success stories for y'all...
I'm on Day 4 with no cloud save capability, and the application engineer from my VAR admits to being stumped. The path we're going down now involves me creating an entirely new SolidWorks ID and 3DX user profile because, and I'm quoting here, "I think your current credentials might be haunted."
Additionally, today I get to dine on a full diet of SPAM courtesy of the 3DX license checker: To add insult to injury, I got this in an email from Dassault this morning: I'm beginning to think they're doing this to me on purpose...

I can only imagine the frustration it's causing you, but please know your tales from the 3DX front line are at least really useful from an educational point of view!
Re: Does anyone actually use 3DExperience in a productive manner?
Do you have any Attributes set to read only on platform for your SW files? If so, that may be why save is failing. There is a regression in FD01 that was just released over the weekend that causes save to fail if an attribute on platform is set to read only. To work around it you can remove read only for the attribute for now until a fix is deployed.wgering wrote: ↑Thu Feb 16, 2023 2:26 pm Got some more 3DX success stories for y'all...

Re: Does anyone actually use 3DExperience in a productive manner?
Sounds to me like they really need a total revamp on the quality control.
On the desktop version you can live with SP0, 1 and 2 might have a major bug that will stop you working. You have the option not to load it on until the early release bugs are ironed out at maybe SP3.

Re: Does anyone actually use 3DExperience in a productive manner?
Negative. I finally got a response from DS over the weekend, apparently there's a bug that prevents SLDASM files from saving properly if they contain components in Released maturity state...so you know, just another one of their much-vaunted PLM features that just stopped working and brought my workflow to a grinding halt for a week.Diaval wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2023 4:59 am Do you have any Attributes set to read only on platform for your SW files?

The fix was actually pretty easy once the root cause was found, a quick trip into RegEdit and now I'm back up and running, but damn it's annoying to do beta testing for this thing....

Re: Does anyone actually use 3DExperience in a productive manner?
See, in our environment we would've tested new changes in a test environment prior to rollout into production. So this type of issue would likely get caught.....especially something that basic. This is my problem with a cloud systems where they upgrade everyone to the latest changes and you have no choice but to accept it.

Re: Does anyone actually use 3DExperience in a productive manner?
Wow... I hadn't seen this one pass along.
Re: Does anyone actually use 3DExperience in a productive manner?
Okay today I have a 3DX success story that involves actual success!
We're ramping up for a limited manufacturing run with our product version 1.1, and our CEO decides to save some pennies by recycling some leftover parts and pieces we have from our 1.0 run. Now, we've done a great deal of design work on 1.1 and still intend to use those part and assembly files for most of the 1.1 run, but now need to incorporate these 1.0 parts in. I made a new branch of our 1.1 files designated for the incorporation of the old 1.0 parts, which I was able to switch back to from our 1.1 versions with a few clicks. Now we've got parallel dev branches so we can both continue on primary 1.1 and make necessary edits to incorporate the 1.0 parts into the new branch without affecting anything we worked on in the primary branch. Whole process only took about fifteen minutes and I never had to leave my SolidWorks window.
When it works (and that's a big "when"), 3DX can actually be a a pretty useful tool. It definitely has a steep learning curve, and I think doesn't make sense AT ALL if a customer has existing SW data mgmt infrastructure (i.e., SW PDM), but if you need to build a CAD database from scratch (as we did), it *can in fact* be used for that purpose if the admin is willing to endure some personal pain and frustration learning the thing.

Apparently 3DX only allow specific symbol for their password and the password that i tried to use contained "/" which is prohibited.
HOWEVER
My other account which is created long ago contained "/" and has no issue login... (well.. most of the time)
