Update:
Just heard from our VAR. Mirroring issue will not be resolved until 4th quarter of this year. 
in the mean time, i guess its 1 handed vehicles to be sold until the end of the year. <()>
They must’ve really coded themselves into a corner.
They indeed have. Rather then developping around whatever base of the software they created(SolidWorks), they are creating, or buying, complements(Features or add-ons) independantly from the software and then integrating these complements into the software with temporary connexions, that are dependant of the programmation of the software.
And then, they take the software, and create new stuff into it, and make it dependant of the programmation of the complement. So the Software being dependant of the complement, and the complements being dependant of the software, that is what we could call a good ol’ circular reference. Now think how exponentially their problem is, when you concider how much stuff they add to it every year because of the marketing push.
Why do you think they constantly re-break things over and over again without even noticing.
I wonder what will be broken then. In my experience with SW, correcting something means breaking something else.
To me, it’s a new type of marketing. If they don’t resolve mirroring bug, we have to extend our subscription.
Who can use a cad system that’s not able to mirror?
Now take that same mess, without any fixes, and try and port it to a web based interface, and integrate it with all of your other half broken apps.
Honestly, talk with your VAR’s. They will certainly try to help as best as they can, and the argument you just made of being dependant of next year could be one you could use to either get some sort of “rebate” or maybe even have a free year added to your current subscription(Wouldn’t that be awesome).
We will. For now, we have to wait to see if they have a solution for it during current subscription period.
Thanks for the advice though. I’ll pass it to our admin.
Solidworks 2022 SP3 has been released, and you will all not be surprised to learn that the mirroring is just as broken as it has been.
I would pressure them for a fix in 2022…get your management involved and ask to speak directly with SolidWorks. If its costing you money, spell it out for them. Frustrating I know, but if your are loud enough, it can be done.
I didn’t quite get that Paul, care to explain? 
We are definitely pushing for that. Its not right.
