Dialog Box: Readers Have Their Say

11 Jul, 2006 By: Cadalyst Staff

Hot off the press for July, Cadalyst readers and Web site visitors pick our brains and tell us what's on their minds


Feedback
 

For more than a year now, Cadalyst's Dialog Box -- the popular collection of letters from our readers that once appeared in each issue of the magazine -- has found its home on Cadalyst.com. Easy for some to find and easily overlooked by others, we thought we'd bring each new installment to the attention of Cadalyst Daily readers for you to enjoy "hot off the press."

(By the way, if you like being among the first to know about the latest content posted each month on Cadalyst.com (print edition and online exclusives), subscribe to What's New at Cadalyst.com, AEC or manufacturing edition.)

In this month's Dialog Box, you'll find letters from readers on the following topics:

  • Feedback about fillets, custom linetypes and the Modify dialog box in AutoCAD.
  • A correction about "shaded views" described in the June 2006 Cadalyst Labs review of Alibre Design 9.
  • A plea for more SolidWorks coverage.
  • Feedback about ProgeSOFT's progeCAD software.
  • And more.
