Solidworks and/or Photoworks, who uses it? Options

[seanery]

I've got a question. A friend wants us to do some work for him, he's got Photoworks and is outputting some models for us.
Can you set it up to output with an alpha channel? (32-bit image)

thanks,
sean

Mmm...it was definitely solidworks..I spent 9 hours a day in the lab trying to design an Ice-Crusher.
My assigned project.
There's a fruit packer/sorter/industrial contractor (Van Doren)over here in wenatchee that has the same version of solidworks on their system.
I was building a trade show booth and we had some sheet steel laser cut- they let me build the dies for the steel in solidworks over there- then send it to the laser.
2 engineers work there, and the accounting dept has to shut down while they're doing the "solid extrusions" (3d modeling..?) they said...not enough CPU to run it all.
They told me they didn't even buy the damn program because it cost too much! They got a commercial lease on it.
I'm going to look into it, I remember wanting the program for fun at home but my dad (Computer Scientist for the Navy) said he couldn't make a reasonable desktop computer to run it...
wow...I htink I'm talking to myself...
