DISQUS

Well Rich, the last photo can only be called "cheeky"

Wow Rich, that was a wordy post good sir. And that is why I like it. I will have to go check out the new and improved 3D Content Central when I roll into work on Monday (muttering about the folks who have fun at SWW). It seems that many improvements have been made to induce me to use it more often. Thanks for putting out a post on one of the more underutilized portions of SW. Have a good time at SWW.

Awesome post on D3D Richard. I just read the January issue last week which was my first issue. I enjoyed it very much and will read it again this weekend because I am not working and everyone else will be at SWW!

Keep up the posting good sir.

Congratulations Gabi! It is hard to believe you have been blogging for a year. Seems longer than that though. Nice reformat you have done on the blog since moving it. It would be nice if you could get the Disqus comments going. Looking forward to lots of posts in 2009. Keep up the great work!

I concur with your comment Ben from 10:45 2008/11/23. Why can't I drive a pattern with a curve in an assembly. It would save me a lot of time when I do not have a pattern on a part in the assembly.

I a agree Charles, a revision should be tied to the model and the drawing. Seems like it would be pretty straight forward to do so. I alway's wondered about why it was separate.

Currently, I am still on 2007. Our company has a bizarre setup on Solidworks and other software now. Our location is at the corporate HQ in Clayton, MO. We manufacture in Phillips, WI. The division in Phillips now controls our licenses and will not permit us to upgrade until they do. Now, this is pretty bogus since each of our engineering departments are totally separate and we are on completely different servers for our files and neither department has access to the others servers. The Phillips IT department has all the control over our computers and software, yet the corporate IT department gives us the support and runs our network and servers.

I have been waiting for this day! I hope they release the portable version at the same time, that is what I have been using. Makes it convenient to drag all my bookmarks and passwords around with me between work and home and on the road.

Cool design! Be nice to have to to play with on the weekends.

I am glad to hear that I not the only person who also has the fear of planes crashing on me.

Josh,
Perhaps you have become a blogoholic. The intense need to get ideas out of your mind and out into the open for everyone else to read and comment on. It starts small with on or two posts every couple of days then it explodes into two or three a day. I look forward to the day's when you will pop off about 20 per day. :)

I agree with Charges on the shortcuts. I would like to see more shortcuts at the top of the home page that are static and appear on all pages. I just like it that way because it makes it easier to navigate and most of the sites for vendors tend to do that I visit often.

WOW! Hard to believe that an entire year has passed since you started. I am glad to see how the interest in you site has grown. Just keep pounding the posts and it will keep going!

Ok Mr Font nut, found a link for you to have even more fonts to pick from:

Weird timing on the post Josh. Around the time you posted this, I got an inivatiion to join LinkedIn through Design World. I joined after reading this post and a couple of day's later, I got a invitation to connect with a guy who works for a head hunting outfit that I have worked with. Karma!

A very inventive idea combining a couple of items together to come up with something that is pretty radical in my view. This is really thinking outside the box!

The low impact woodland home is pretty darn impressive for someone basically tossing a bunch of stuff together. I have to take my hat off for the guy that built it.

CoolIris is great, I need to install it on my portable Firefox since I do not even use my desktop Firefox any more where I had it installed. It is way cool.

Your killing me Josh, the chuckles won't stop and I will probably have weird dreams about this tonight.

I learned a new method from one of Barry-Wehmiller International Resources division contractors we have working for us. They use weldments to generate a lot of stuff. The guy is designing a new machine for us and one of the big items that chews up the assembly is piping. He did all the piping for the machine in a weldment as a SINGLE PART. I am going to go back through the help file and read up on weldments!!!!

I'm looking forward to the final release. I just recently started using Firefox portable on my 2GB thumb drive to work on my Tiddlywiki files. The new version of Firefox has some superb improvements to make your browsing a lot better.

The best part I love about Firefox is the add-ins, so many to choose from and new ones popping up all the time.

I just try to avoid doing things in context at all. Just more stuff to get out of whack while I issue a multitude of 4 letter expletives while fixing it.

I agree with Devon on the One Config, One File, One Part Number Scheme. In our office we have problems with files that have multiple configs like bar stock. If I need to add on to it and someone else is using it. I have to have them exit it or add the part I need to the config.

We do try to keep the configs if used to the least number possible if we do use them.

I believe SWW will be held in Orlando,FL USA next year.

I have been playing with the Tiddlywiki. I am starting to get some ideas on how I can use it to leverage a lot of inforamtion that I have stuffed in binders on my desktop. I may even be pulling stuff from my GoogleDocs to put into it. I still need to search about for more information about it on the sites they recommend for getting assistance. I am planning on moving my Firefox to my 1GB drive and putting my wiki on it also.

Josh,
I have installed the plugin and all I can say is WOW! I just used the search and BAM, there was the email I needed to reference. Thanks for passing on the information about this awesome piece of software!!!!!!!!!!!!!
