The enhancement request that get put in, if they have a # does that mean that they are being considered to become part of the program?
If so then then they need to add some kind of thumbs up or thumbs down button on the list of enhancements that they get.
Is there a way to track the users education level with the program that is submitting the request?
The quick look that I took sure made it look like they are ready for SolidWorks version 2072 to come out where all you do is think of what you want to do and quickly move stuff around and make it change shape quickly....
Enhancement request, improve upon what is there. Give us a One page print menu, let me filter out the info I see better... This task take 5 clicks I thought of a way that we can cut it down to 2. This menu confuses me I am not sure what to do.... Make it more user friendly.. these kind of enhancement request will make the next version. When we ask to be able to turn a 3d sketch to a 2d to extrude a part in one sketch.........
The SWX ER system is very, very cumbersome, even by their own admission. It is supposed to be easy to search so you can add your votes for an ER and so you don't write an ER that is essentially the same as an existing one. But it is only used by those of us absolutely committed to getting an idea into their formal system.
We know SWX monitors this forum for problems and ideas and that is a very good thing. The annual (but temporary!!!) Top Ten list is typically even more fertile ground for items to improve the software because it really fosters constructive dialogue on the ideas and these comments help to refine, define, and otherwise shape the ideas.
I am replying to this because your post has touched on one of my pet peeves, that the ER system sucks and the forum has become a sloppy, but defacto place for ideas to improve the software. See these:
The ER System is LOUSY!
