#2 could also be taken from Solid Edge’s workflow for selecting geometry for mate/relations. It’s really simple because they have an active filter that is really helpful. It does all the workaround stuff that people keep asking to be fixed in SW, like filters and transparent, etc.
Simply select the type of mate you want, select part A, now only applicable geometry in part A is available to select. Select the geometry in part A then select part B. Again, only the applicable geometry in part B is available to select. select the geometry in part B. Done.
They should add implied axis to any type of conic or revolved feature while they’re at it.
Lol I feel stupid now I just figured out I could select multiple tags.
These vote numbers are a joke compared to the old forum in years past. Also considering how many SolidWorks users there are, the top 10 should be in the hundreds of votes each.
Number 10 is a great example…that’s probably a bunch of people from the same company.
Perhaps they can’t get Mold Flow in Turkey and they are stuck with the Solidworks option 
The voting has just started. It takes a while for the users to be informed that the TTL exists (VARs, publications, DSS marketing to spread the news).
The first year the TTL went to Swym it ended up being the “Tekyaz Top Ten List”, I think users from that company managed to get something like 7 of the top 10 ideas.
I would put money on that none of the 7 had anything to do with rendering as they are a re-seller of Keyshot.
I just saw this.
This is a SolidWorks Top Ten, not a 3DXperience Top 10, not a xDesign Top10, this needs to be adressed
I’m afraid it isn’t a SolidWorks-only TTL, they addressed that in the announcement post:

I still think they should allow this one through just to judge what the demand for it in SW-proper would be.
It’s a bit retrusive. Like, the principle of “It’s on xDesign so it doesn’t need to be on SolidWorks” is rather simple-minded. Why did they allow the creation of Sketches, planes, axis, etc… on xDesign then? These all existed of SolidWorks previously.
Seems like they’ll unintentionally block their own development with that line of thought.
It’s not a two-way street, that argument. It only works one way; specifically, the Platform way.
I know, it just irritates me because it seems pretty fraudulent. What prevents them from taking all “solidworks ideas” and adding them to the platform but not solidworks.
Who’s to say they won’t let SolidWorks have more and more bugs with each release at the same time while also promoting the ‘less-buggy’ platform. Maybe I’m pushing things a bit far but I think it’s ridiculous nonetheless.
That is one of the things I hate about the way SW does this. Not only do you have to submit an idea, you then have to go politicking to generate enough votes so that SW pays attention.
Thanks Alin. I’m flattered that one of mine made the list.
Now “Add the advanced mesh capabilities of Plastics Simulation to the SOLIDWORKS Simulation program” is number 3. This is obviously getting padded by some company or group in Turkey. There is no way this is that popular with the SolidWorks userbase as a whole. At my company of hundreds of users, this might get one or two votes.
We could fix this a bit.
Here is the idea
- We run our own top ten list and vote on here.
- We run it short so ours finishes before the official one does.
- The deal is everyone then needs to go over and vote unilaterally only on those ideas that finished top ten in our poll and nothing else.
And unfortunately it is probably more to do with falling sale of of the Solidworks fill simulation compared with Moldflow.
Moldflow has it.
From what I can tell these votes are likely driven by the reseller in Turkey as previous recent top tens.
EuroSolid Zrt
Hungary
