The SolidWorks task pane. We’ve all seen it, right? Probably used it a time or two for drawing view insertion or to dig something up out of a design library. When was the last time you clicked on the ‘home’ tab and looked at what it has to offer? Granted, starting a new document, or opening a previous document, would be accomplished quicker via other means, but what about tutorials? What’s new?
How about moving down a little? Quick links to the customer portal, user group information and the discussion forums. Strangely enough, there are plenty of people out there who don’t even know if there’s a user group in there area or that there are discussion forums! How alone would you feel if that were you?
Tech news? There they are, right there with a link to more news and descriptions. Did you know PhotoWorks was being retired? That juicy piece of info is within that ‘view all’ link.
Partner solutions. Cool software add-ins to make your life better. If you haven’t checked out the software packages out there that make SolidWorks even better, and your job easier, you really should take a look.
You’ve all been to the SolidWorks Labs site, so the fact that there’s a quick link there is unimp…what, you haven’t been? So then you don’t know about Treehouse 2? What about Tagger? SustainabilityXpress? You need to go there now!
Don’t forget about the ‘Tip of the Day’. You never know what gem you may find.
