That is the great thing about the Solidworks community. There are alot of people who help others and share their knowledge. It seems like you can always find the answer to your question in a blog or from someone else.

Re: 6 Ways to Improve the Heck Out of This SolidWorks Parts

I spend a lot of time fixing models from another guy but the problem is that he was fired over six months ago. Everything he did from his whole year here seems to be messed up and cause a lot of issues when parts are ordered. Unfortunately I have no other option than to rework it.

Very nicely said, mature and kept your cool at some quite rediculous accusations. Keep bringing great information

Re: Laptop or Desktop? What Do You Run SolidWorks On?

screen size is kind of a big deal. I wish they made 22" screen laptops. I know it makes them slightly less mobile but i wouldn't mind at all. The big screen would make it all worth while.

I use my desktop while at work but while at home, I use my laptop. Occasionally when I try to open one of my huge projects from my desktop on my laptop I have some performance issues. Wait, what am I saying? I have quite a few performance issues here at work even with an upgraded desktop. Screen size it what pulls me to my desktop.

Klok is proving to be a very useful tool for me. I am able to keep track of my total project hours with ease. It is also going to help me when the end of the month rolls around and I have to do my dreaded monthly time sheet. It's alot easier to click the start working and stop working after you load your projects than what it is to try and remember to write it down at the end of each day.

awesome man. Your life will never be the same. You'll start wondering why you can't manipulate food into your mouth by pushing and pulling.

No, I am in Ohio. The worst part of the situation is the fact that they just switched to Solidworks in our French facility and we are trying to unify our engineering between the two companies. They just bought new systems and are running Solidworks 2009 in France while were in 2007 here so it makes sharing drawings extremely difficult.

Oooo. Then for them to go to 09 it's something they are definitely going to have to see as cost savings or something that increases efficiency. You could do a report or presentation to show them. Keep pushing though. I htink for most companies it's going to be a benefit to move to 09.

Well we don't really have an IT department or anything of the such. We are a smaller company maybe 100-125 employees between here in the US and our other facility in France. There are only a handful of us working in the engineering department and only two of us use Solidworks. Our biggest problem at the moment is the fact that they had bought 2005 and then paid for the subscription for a couple years and then let it cancel. Now that it cancelled were looking at big fees to renew it. I keep trying to push the CEO and my engineering manager and hoping that its going to be a good christmas.

Upgrading depends on a lot of factors for different companies. If your waiting for customers to upgrade first that a big setback. Otherwise, quite a few of the blogs have reviews of it that would give you some good ammo for convincing management, IT or your SolidWorks admin guy to go ahead with the upgrade.

I'm dissapointed. I downloaded it and went to install it and it wouldn't install. I then noticed it is only for Solidworks 2009. Now if I could only find some way to convince them that we need to renew our subscription.

Re: SolidWorks Tips To Import Sketches and Enjoy People’s Company

I have had to convert alot of old ACAD files into Solidworks. I have found, after many headaches and a few bottles of tylenol, that converting to polylines and joing them saves alot of pain. After I create my polyline, I move it so that the desired point is at the origin. I then right click my polyline and copy it. Next, I open up a new part file in Solidworks and paste it in. If it is not on the desired plane, I just right click the sketch in the feature manager and click edit sketch plane. This is what I have found that seems to work the best for me.

I feel your pain. I am not old enough to attend. I honestly think they should remove the age barrier. alas.. if I had been born just a month later I would have a slim chance of attending.. It would be a great learning exp.! next year I can plan world dominat..err.. I mean find a way to convince the powers that be to let me attend this event next year..

Hey Tyler, don't worry. there will undoubtedly be a lot of +21 coverage from the blogs. :)

tyler524 — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:38:47 -0000

I have a good reason for not asking the boss, I don't make the age requirement of 21. It's such a disappointment but I guess it saves me from trying to come up with another excuse for not asking.
