SolidWorks Help Files & Tutorials

Tweet I often see questions on the SolidWorks Forums or Eng-Tips forums that can be more quickly answered if the poster took a minute to search the help files in SolidWorks (Help/SolidWorks Help Topics), rather than waiting for someone to respond to his or her post. For new users, taking the time to go through [...]

Richard Doyle – The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Tweet Anyone who has been involved in the SolidWorks community for any amount of time has at least heard of Richard Doyle. Now everyone can see and hear him!

SolidWorks Success Stories

Tweet Have you been to the Customer Success pages? Every once in a while I go to see if something new has been posted. I’ve gotta tell ya, there are some amazing things being done with SolidWorks.

Win a FREE 3Dconnexion SpaceExplorer or SpaceNavigator

SpaceExplorer – Read the review, enter to win it!

While not as feature laden as the SpacePilot, this unit still provides increased productivity. It has a nice ergonomic shape, feels good in your hand and performs excellently. It has the typical programmable buttons and easy-to-use [...]

SolidWorks World 2007 – I’m Excited

Tweet So SolidWorks World 2007 is quickly approaching and I, like so many others, am excited. I was invited to participate in Alpha testing of 2008 which, for me, is a big deal. Bear in mind, I am, for the most part, self-taught in SolidWorks. I’ve said many times that it’s because of SolidWorks that [...]

Correction – My bad

Tweet To my loyal readers: I made a mistake. I know, I know, I had trouble believing it myself but it’s true. I erroneously referred to the SpaceNavigator as a SpaceExplorer in my review of said SpaceNavigator. Please forgive my oversight. I got confused. The SpaceNavigator is what I was reviewing, the SpaceExplorer review is [...]
