Jim Wilkinson, vice president of User Experience Architecture at DassaultSystèmes SOLIDWORKS. ENGINEERS Rule spoke with Jim Wilkinson, vice president of User Experience Architecture at Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS, to learn how his user experience (UX) team has addressed the CAD community and what it takes to please most of the people most of the time. Now that a year has passed, the software giant has been iterating SOLIDWORKS 2016, both in reaction to the needs and grievances of users as well as in preparation for the upcoming release of SOLIDWORKS 2017. So, when Dassault Systèmes updated the most popular 3D mechanical design software, SOLIDWORKS, last year and introduced an altogether new user interface, the iconic software was met with everything from joy to ambivalence to shock and horror. Within this range lies the CAD user, who would like things to stay exactly as they are from one release to the next-except those things that bother them. For the opposite extreme, change is a terrifying circumstance to be avoided entirely and at all costs. Taoists may embrace change as an essential and beautiful characteristic of life itself.
