THE SolidWorks 2007 Bible

Tweet This book is a must have for any intermediate user of SolidWorks. Matt Lombard, who I have mentioned many times here, is a man among men when it comes to SolidWorks.

Acrobat 3D – More Cool Stuff

Tweet When I listened to, and watched, Adobe’s briefing about Acrobat 3D, Rak Bhalla, Senior Marketing Manager, used Adobe Acrobat Connect to show me all of the cool things that Acrobat 3D could do. How cool was that? Here I was being shown all this cool technology via another cool technology that I didn’t, and [...]
