But you should expect it to remain via a mature 3rd party partner code like Visio - it makes so much more sense. It would now have enough value added to make it worth the investment. Having said that, I too suspected that with the routing stuff becoming more mature, they would start to think about adding schematic capabilities. Why would they want to spend a fortune on building (and supporting forever - that's the killer) 2D symbolic chart connectivity inside SW drawings for a very small percentage of SW use when an off the shelf solution partner is available?ģ. I think that their choice to rely on Visio for this application is a valid one. Your time is worth more than the cost of Visio. It makes no sense to brute force even a regular 2D drafting system for this purpose. It is set up to handle connective charts and symbols. Otherwise use Visio of you want to do it inside SW for consistency. If you are doing a lot of schematic type work, buy some custom (and associative!!) software for the job. "Us all" apparently live in and have embraced a 3D world. Like most modern solid modelling 3D CAD packages, SW is not intended for schematic capture, or even for heavy duty entirley 2D drafting. Mind you, I remember the days when $1M bought you less (much less) than you are getting in any of todays PC based CAD systems!!!Ģ. $5k? Sounds like someone is being ripped off.
