Re: SolidWorks 2010: Drawing Dimension Enhancements

Rick, that's cool and it will be used a lot but I've been taught that I'm suppose to use my model dimensions in the drawing. How does it work if you have mostly model dimensions and then add a few other generic dimensions? Does the sapcing still make all the previously model dimeneions move as well?

great job,

Jeff, glad to see you made it back on your feet. I knew you would.

Steve,

We got a coffee cup and water bottle. Things you would maybe see at user group meetings as doorprizes...

We also got a student copy of SolidWorks 2009, which I gave to a coworker who homeschools their children.

SWAG, what kind of swag did you receive? Not fair, I wanted swag.

I sometimes add the o-ring groove into my original revolve for the part itself.

Josh, good article. We have CFD Design here at Wayne, it's cool, not that I use it much (at all). Our fluid guys love it.

Brian, I can't see the YouTube stuff either and until I can get IT to give me acess to the now blocked solidworks forum, I can't go the as well. Bummer, I guess I'll try at home tonght.

Re: SolidWorks Electrical Routing - Part 2

I refreshed and even re-booted (because of something else) and this time it gets to 55 seconds and stopped.

Ricky, you just don't realize how much crap you have until you move. I'm glad you made it through.

Re: Book Review - Lombard’s Surfacing Bible

Steve_Calvert — Thu, 21 May 2009 13:37:48 -0000

Jeff, nice write up. Matt really knows his stuff. I have the 2009 Bible and would recommend it to anyone. I'm sure this Surfacing book will be just as good if not better.

Re: Backwards Compatibility - Quit Teasing Us

Steve_Calvert — Thu, 07 May 2009 08:03:34 -0000

I don't want it. My main reason is: SW is having problems now with stable releases and by making this backwards compatibility work, people will never upgarde.

JeffMirisola — Mon, 04 May 2009 10:35:42 -0000

Steve,
I agree with the live support aspect, but it is limited to the classroom. Once the class is over, VARs are less apt to provide training via tech support. At least with videos, you can continually refer to them for help.

Re: Learning SolidWorks

Steve_Calvert — Mon, 04 May 2009 07:47:37 -0000

I learned SW through my VAR. I personelly think this is the best way because of the "Live" support. I did come in knowing SW more than the regular new user because of my Unigraphics and Pro/E background. The idea of creating a solid model is basically the same between the three but I have users here that didn't have the same background as I and they have learned it just fine from our VAR.

Good post Jeff.

Re: SolidWorks 2009 SP3 Removes Display State Option?

Steve_Calvert — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 08:38:07 -0000

OK, Brian, you're scaring me with all this "it ain't here anymore stuff". I like the display states. Maybe SW just forgot it in this SP.
