Ricky Jordan from RickyJordan.com Was kind enough to do a floor interview for me with the Yo-yo masters of Xpresso speech recognition for SolidWorks
Thanks Ricky!
Wow now this is cool a 3D printer from Solido with a very affordable price and it sits on your desk! Check out this interview by Chris McAndrew of 3DEngr
Thanks Chris!
I was very lucky to get Jon Hirschtick to do a interview for me on the floor of the partner pavilion. For those that do not know Jon is the founder of SolidWorks and about as geeky as they get.
Thank you Jon for doing this for me!

Some live coverage of SolidWorks World 2010 from Lou Gallo of SolidWorks Heard
There will be posts of live coverage from the general sessions in the morning and I will be posting some video of what I see here as I get chances to post.
Also there is some BIG BIG news coming from SolidJott and SolidMentor! We will be giving away a super cool prize of a SolidWorks licence ( This will be the cost of a U.S. seat if you are in another part of the world like the U.K. I will be giving the cash equivalent of a U.S. seat towards a seat of SolidWorks in your county, this still is a several thousand dollar prize! ). Stay tuned for the entry details!

Great online video whats new for 2010 http://3dvision.com/video/solidworks2010/SolidWorks2010WhatsNew.html
Anyone have any idea as to why all of a sudden my 2010 install is asking for me to acivate my licence even though it has already been done and I have been using is for the last 2 months? And now that I try it tells me that I am all out of activations and to release from another computer? I have 2009 running fine on the machine so I am gobsmacked as to what is going on.
With regards to this thread on how to do a complex loft in SolidWorks
Here is the question it brings up. What thought process do you go through in your head before modeling a part or do you just dig in? If you just dig in, why?
Very cool structured light scanner

How do any of you add the ‘mu’ (Greek)character to a note in a drawing? Might be a stupid question but I have never had to add that and I am at a loss as to where to find it as I cannot find it in the symbols.
I got this in the mail from my friend Albert at Inspirtech:

Well that is thouroghly dissapointing. Export to edawings in 2010 seems to loose the textrues I apply… Now I have to re-do the model in 2009 for a presentation…
Gee thanks SolidWorks, nothing like the productivity enhancing features like these to have me practice my modeling skills again, the second time…
Bah!
Here is a repost from a comment to another post
Hi al,
I have been trying to create a working energy chain within an assembly model. I wondered if anyone had any suggestions on how to maintain the correct radius of the chain when moving the assembly it is mated to.
