I love this idea. However, the value of solid works (and other expensive solutions) are the domain-specific assets that are available.
SketchUp has a lot of community assets but these still leave you hanging almost immediately.
You need to be able to scrounge up drawings of certain parts by part number that can be inserted quickly.
This is surmountable but I think it would take at least a decade to reach parity...in a best case scenario where CADmium is readily adopted.
I would put in the time to learn CADmium. Having worked in FreeCAD some and SketchUp moreso.
I hate that I can't automate things easier or build my drawings from scriptable components--like a XAML file.
- samwillis 2y agoI don't think think this is a problem at all, the industry has standardised on STEP for assets, as long as CADmium and Truck have STEP support (which they will) then they have access to all assets. True, there are dynamically configurable assets for SolidWorks, but any community around a cad package will quickly recreate those.
