Especially after entering what I thought was reasonably accurate data into SolidMaps ROI calculator and getting a payback period of around 27months. At the current price it's just not worth it. It would be a "nice to have" but it's not essential to someone who has been using SolidWorks for a number of years.

Your input has already positively impacted SolidMap. There is significant value in SolidMap today and we will continue to enhance the product going forward. The SolidMap build with the compact mode option is in testing and will be available for download next week. Response to Steve's comment - SolidMap does not provide any information that is not already available. SolidMap just makes it significantly easier to understand this information.

I'm glad you enjoyed the review and congrats on winning a free license. SolidMap isn't a worthless product, but I think it still needs to mature somewhat. FYI - you might want to download their latest offering. I believe they've added the 'compact' mode. Hi Steve!

Loved your review and I guess I didn't expect any different answer than you gave us. Two nights ago, at our Central Texas User Group meeting, we saw Solid Map along with a small review from one of our users. His thoughts were the same about price and ROI. He also said that any good modeler could find all this info now without SM. The only good side to all this is the ability to graphically see what links go where. I'm goning to try this myself mainly because SM gave away 2 licenses during our user group and I won one but also, because as you've said, it would make things easier when you inherit someone else's part file.

Anyway, good review! I was hoping you'd disagree with me a little to show the other side of the product. I may have been a little harder on them than I needed to be. I guess I was just comparing it to functionality that already existed. Hey, Jeff,
