DISQUS

Looks like Di Vinci caught a Solidworks virus.

Oh, yeah. We are just getting started.

Just having those jogs in drawings will be a huge time saver.

About that block party...Can you send me a few pictures from there? In particular...I almost remember posing with a pretty dancer? Yeah...send me that one. :-)

I like new versions of Solidworks.

Ricky,

Excellent post on the new Configurator. That is really going to be a nice feature.

Gary

Eeeh, who needs instructions? That's just someone else opinion as to how it should work anyway.
I had to say that because reading your methodology reminds me too much of myself.
Thanks Jeff.
Gary

Ain't "that" the truth. Work really does get in the way.

Good grief. Don't put my name up there. We don't want to scare anyone off. :-)

This should really be a good summit. I'm really looking fwd to it. Keep the promos comin'

Gary

This is one of the best things I've seen in a while. Thanks Brian.

9.22 Trillion is the anticipated National Debt.

Damn. This is very scarry. New Zealand is sounding better all the time. :-0

Ricky,

Agreed. That's a really nice improvement. You also did a nice job on the title bar picture.

Gary

Jeff,
I'm the same. I always just jump right in. I guess I figure all software should be intuitive enough that using help shouldn't be necessary for basic use; kind of like Solidworks.
I was able to make a quick 3D document. The Solidworks part was even a multi-body and it loaded right in. I just did an insert Solidworks part and it was loaded into the .pdf document. It didn't even have to open Solidworks (or it didn't appear to). Pretty cool.

Excellent. I'm downloading it now. Hey, it's only a 264MB download. I should have it loaded by, oh, I don't know, NEXT WEEK! :-0
Actually, it's not "that" bad.
Thank you much for the heads up on this.
Gary

Sounds like it's time for Solidworks to buy them. :-\

Content. Content. Content. This is what drives the user group and Dana showed some really cool stuff. AND, I believe I could even run a CFD problem with this software if I had to.

Yep. Bringing in Flo results into the COSMOSWorks like that is really a powerful tool.

Thanks Dana. Nice Job.
Gary

This is excellent news. I spoke with the Exec VP at my company today and invited him to come and meet John. He said he's looking fwd to it.

Preach on brotha'. I couldn't agree more. User groups are key to the making and shaping of Solidworks.

Excellent advice. Thanks Brian.

Ricky kicked my butt. I think he cheated. :-)

I'm really looking fwd to Brian's blog and seeing where he takes it.

YOU ROCK!
Congratulations Ricky. You deserve it. NASWUG is where it is today because of you. It's a pleasure to work with you.
Gary

I'm ready to go again. A great time was had by all.

It was a really good meeting. Having Richard Doyle stop by and attend the meeting was a real treat.

It was fun to see some of the little things that have been added to the software that make it even more user friendly.
