Tweet One of the perks of writing this blog is being able to see things that aren’t released to the general public and then telling the general public about what I’ve seen. For example, I received an email yesterday, from my DriveWorks contact, with a link to a demo for their resellers. (For those of [...]
Tweet I’ve posted a few times about Acrobat 3D and how helpful I believe it can be. I received a press release earlier announcing that Acrobat 3D is now out of beta and available immediately. Some of the key features in Version 8 are: Display PMI directly on the geometry and from the assembly tree. [...]
Tweet It finally arrived, yesterday. I’ve been waiting forever for it to get here. Ok, forever is an exaggeration but, hey, it’s my blog I’m allowed to, right? That’s right, my SolidWorks 2007 Bible arrived yesterday. On top of that, it was autographed and Matt actually kept it clean. Actually, now I’m wondering if it [...]
Tweet Solidmentor is now up and running. A SolidWorks site for SolidWorks users by SolidWorks users, the brainchild of Ben Eadie (blog, website). His goals were simple: Central location for all blogs, podcasts and SW news The SolidWiki (this will require alot of user help to populate but could be a very powerful tool!) The [...]
Tweet Most of you are probably already reading Matt Lombard’s blog and, therefor, have probably already read the interview that Franco Folini did with Matt on Novedge’s blog. However, if you haven’t read it, get your butt over there and do so now! Not that my opinion counts for much, but I thought it was [...]
Tweet Good morning my faithful readers. While I don’t have one of my deep, insightful reviews for you today, I do have a tidbit from Adobe. You’ve read what I’ve had to say about Acrobat 3D. Maybe you’ve even tried out the beta version. Well, now you can hear more about it from the creators [...]
Tweet So I finally had the time to get deeper into Acrobat 3D. Having been a Technical Writer/Illustrator prior to my present position as a CAD Administrator, I checked out how Acrobat 3D could help out in that arena. With Acrobat 3D, the technical writer/illustrator can read the data from almost any 3D CAD file [...]
Tweet SolidMentor is a website, currently under construction, that will be chock full of all things SolidWorks. Links to other helpful sites, a ‘SolidWiki’ to capture and disseminate useful knowledge, a user’s forum, Blog and Podcast Role…basically one-stop shopping for all things SolidWorks. Need to find a website with macros, it’ll be there. Looking for [...]
Tweet I’m going to start sounding like a broken record here, but I still like i.get.it. I do wish, however, that they’d fix the "remember me" thingy. I select it, but it never remembers me. Well, it’s just a minor inconvenience. On to the good stuff… With i.get.it Professional, you get access to a whole [...]
Tweet Ok, so this is going to be way, way, way off topic. It’s not even close to being SolidWorks related but, hey, freedom of speech rules! I stumbled across a blog today that, if you’re a parent, I think you’ll like. It’s called MetroDad and it’s written by a 30-something NYC’er and his adventures [...]
