It’s Here! It’s Here! Raise the Banners and Sound the Trumpets It’s Here!
—————–UPDATE—————–
Here is the new public beta of SolidJott 2.01a please try this addin first. LINK TO INSTALL FILE
Have a read of this post as well. I will be cleaning up the movie and such ASAP but as a BETA tester what do you expect? (FYI There have been no issues with the new version for several dozen installs over XP, Vista, and Win7, both 32 and 64 bit as well as SW version 2005-2009 all service packs so it is low risk)

—————–UPDATE—————–
SolidWorks help when you need it where you need it.
The SolidJott plugin for SolidWorks is Download this FILE here, install and have fun. You will need to create a account here at SolidJott, it is quick and painless, and when you open the addin in SolidWorks you will need to login to post to the SolidJott help center but otherwise you can look around without logging in. Attached is a quick screen capture of what you will be presented with in SolidWorks.
Here is the premise you need help or can help someone with a SolidWorks problem but switching between windows such as SolidWorks and your email client, to a web form, a word document, or other software to capture the question or to offer a answer can be a painful laborious task. You can quickly lose context in what you are trying to capture in this method. Using SolidJott however you open the sidebar tab, login, and voila! Help while in SolidWorks! without losing context! You can then communicate with some of the top experts in SolidWorks community right within SolidWorks.
But there’s more… It slices, it dices, it makes julienne fries… Ok maybe not fries just yet but future developments will include A button to send a screen capture to the post and a button to ‘pack and go’ the file(s) you are working on currently and send to post to make things even easier in describing problems or solutions.
This addin will be provided for free to anyone who would like the service, but…
I have been running this site out of my pocket and for the future developments I will need some funding. If you like what you get please leave a tip. I would recommend $5 or $10 or the cost of a couple of fancy coffees or $20 if you can afford it. For this nominal tip you get help when you need it where you need it using this addin for SolidWorks So help me fast track additions to this addin by donating what you can. Thank you for your support! Click the Donate button on the side bar or below to help the community tech support revolution.
This is the original video for the addin. It is a bit outdated but it will give you an idea of what SolidJott is all about and how it works. I will be updating this shortly.

[...] You can associate a lot of buzzwords with this, but the fact is that it solves a real problem. Ben is also developing Jott systems for other CAD products. The idea just makes sense. Simple. Easy. Works. Of course when you’re a CAD giant already, you can push this sort of stuff out and make an instant success. Ben relies on less traffic and probably zero cooperation from SolidWorks to get stuff like this out. So go visit Ben, and get the SolidJott SolidWorks add-in. [...]
