Return of the SolidWorks Haiku!

I have written some haikus related to SolidWorks in the past, you can read them at: http://mysticmango.blogspot.com/2007/03/solidworks-haikus.html

Now it is 2010, and time for some new ones. I have a co-worker that is having emense trouble with his upgrade of SW2010, and this inspired the following:

Warm days of Winter
My new CAD burns me daily
Damn computer crash

The excitement builds
Install SolidWorks upgrade
Now I cannot work

Excitement of fall
upgrade is without peril
CAD offers no joy

CAD vixes me so
Chasing solutions in vain
Oh the joys of work

SolidWorks Haikus

Being in the manufacturing and engineering field, there are certain tools I use on a dailey basis. One of these tools I have used for the past 10yrs is SolidWorks. It is a 3D solid modeling program. Over the years it has grown more functional and feature rich. A downside to this it that is has also bloated in size and requires far more computer resources that it once did. This is to be expected.

All that aside, it is a great program and it has inspired me to write a few haikus.


Old files from the past
SolidWorks pushes forward
New does not save old

Poor display of lines
Flow forth from Autumn drivers
Update and rejoice

AutoDesk gray skies
Parametric is the way
SolidWorks sunshine
