### "Ultimate is not so easy and effecient like Spin fire pro"

October 4, 2018

4.0

Pros

The intelligence edge messurement was very nice. Also the wall thickness analyces was very nice.

Cons

The turning of the 3d parts is more complicated. In pro its better. When you make a weight calculation is more than 1 click. Also if you mess anything more clicks are necessary. The projected area is also more clicks and more complicated. Generally the use is more complicated now. You cant Export Picture vectors (in spinfire pro its possible). If i start the Software i cant make a click in my draftsight (like acad) Programm. So i have to close ultimate and than i able to click in draftsight. One Suggestion: please also make a function like rolling ball. That means you inscribe a ball in the shape of the 3d so you can see were the part is very thick or not. for example: https://viewer.kisters.de/blog/bl/show/Article/title/232-wandstaerkenanalyse-mittels-methode-rolling-ball.html

### "Improve the Translated"

July 4, 2019

4.0

In general, the software is good and streamlines the process development work, however we are having problems with GM quotes, since SpinFire can not import the properties saved in the original file.

Pros

I liked the layout of the commands and the new tools created.

Cons

Of the removed some tools (Today we can't import the same file more of the one time)

### "Actify reviewer"

July 16, 2019

4.0

Currently I am uncertain?

Pros

It reads almost all files without having to have several systems

Cons

For me it would be useful to have a tutorial and a help sheets to use the system efficiently. I am sure there is a lot more that I can do with it.

### "New User, former Unigraphics NX3,5,8.5,10"

January 3, 2019

3.0

I am using Spinfire to review tooling designs in the automotive industry. So far it seems to be a very useful tool for my needs.

Pros

I like the user friendly environment. Viewability is clear, Works well with my Space Pilot Pro.

Cons

When a view is squared up, it would be nice to have an option to lock the view from rotating meanwhile allowing the ability to zoom/pan. As I a new user, I need to figure out the preference settings (ie: units, background color and parallel mode). I do not have a need for perspective mode.
