Back on March 8th, SolidWorks announced they will be holding SWUGN technical summits again. Some people in the crowd saw there was one scheduled to be in Cincinnati but noticed there were no details about the event. I see now, details are posted.
This will be my third technical summit and I am looking forward to it, they really put on a good show. Read the SolidWorks blog to learn more about what goes on during a summit.
See you there.

SolidWorks has again commissioned an independent marketing firm to conduct a customer satisfaction survey. As a result, you may receive an email from solidworks@nri-support.com inviting you to participate. This is a legitimate invitation and is not spam. We encourage you to take the opportunity to provide feedback and participate in the survey. As a valued customer your opinions and experiences are extremely important to help SolidWorks and 3DVision continue to improve your productivity. It is expected to take just 10 to 15 minutes and we look forward to your feedback. Participants who complete the survey may be eligible to win a Dell mobile workstation or one of five passes to SolidWorks World 2011.
If you are a 3DVision customer and you missed the email, please take a few minutes to fill out the survey. Your feedback is appreciated.

Here’s some BIG news for you! DraftSight is here.
You might say, ”Wow…now Josh, what is DraftSight?”
I’m glad you asked. DraftSight is a new 2D tool that is designed to help you manage your legacy 2D data. It is very similar to your old 2D CAD tool but with a little twist. It is easier to use.
The development of DraftSight was driven by customer feedback. This will allow experienced 2D CAD users to get up to speed on DraftSight very quickly with minimal training.
Here are some questions that you may ask yourself:
Q: What will DraftSight run on?
A: It will run on Windows XP, Vista, and W7. A MAC and Linux version is planned for later this year.
Q: How large is the footprint?
A: The download file size is about 43MB.
Q: What if I need training for DraftSight?
A: If you sign up for the Community Support, you get access to online training videos, tutorials, curriculum, and discussion forums.
OK, well DraftSight does sound great but the biggest question of all; “How much will it cost?” This is starting to sound like an infomercial where the host asks if you’d pay $39.95 and then $29.95 and so-on. Well the final price is….$0!!! That’s right, it’s FREE!!!
All you need to do is go to www.DraftSight.com and download it.

Ever since I was a little Engineering Data Specialist Man, I’ve wanted to design a machine that would help me rule the world. Alas, I never could get the design resources. But wait look what I found…
Jeremy has now given me a portal to start my evil plan into action! How perfect -getting the world to help design the very machine that will make me their leader!
I suppose if they do decide to do the collapsible commuter vehicle, that would be cool too. Go check out the site – http://www.letsgodesign.tv. I see this as a great way to learn from each other, improve design and collaboration skills, and have a good time. As they say, no one has ever had a bad time with Luchini!
