Before starting the process I will strongly advise you to make a backup of the files.

  1. Open you part, [...]

SolidWorks World 2010: Call for Papers

August 20, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

SolidWorks World wouldn’t be the same without the Breakout Sessions and their presenters.  Each year, there is a call for papers.  This is where anyone with experience in a particular topic can propose a presentation as a speaker.  Not everyone who submits a paper will have their presentation accepted.  However, you never know.

When Jon Hirschtick talks, his excitement is infectious.  Maybe reason for this is that he is excited about what he’s talking about.  At the recent visit to SolidWorks headquarters, several of us SolidWorks bloggers got to met with Jon again, but it never seems like enough time.

He talked about how he likes to keep up [...]

August 20, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

SolidWorks Labs

August 13, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

Secret Spy Photos within SolidWorks Headquarters

August 13, 2009 in CAD, SolidWorks

Several fellow bloggers and I were recently fortunate enough to be taken on a tour of the SolidWorks headquarters in Concord, MA.  Not many have the clearance for such an honor.  (That last of such tours was conducted on April 1, 2005.)  The onsite DNA analysis required samples that I now regret giving up.  The [...]
