Feedback…
I have a couple of questions that will help with the development of SolidJott.
This site / application would not be what it is without your participation. So it is critical that I know what you want, like, and need SolidJott to be.
1. What do you value about SolidJott the most?
2. What one thing would you change or implement if you had the power to do so?
Thanks in advance to all that respond.

You will all note that there is a ‘Media’ button at the posting window and at the comment window you can now use to upload pictures and files in the ‘Web View’ template (if you are sending files can you please zip them up to make things work smoother) soon a new SolidWorks addin will be released as well. Enjoy…
Note:
I see there is a text size issue in the SolidWorks addin for the posts and we are working on it, thanks for your patients
Testing of the site…. I need to do some testing and there are going to be some posts coming up and taken down for the next day or so. I appologize to all the people with a RSS feed for the site but in the end it will make for a better site.

Whooo hooo SolidJott is a Solution Partner with SolidWorks!!!!! Have you told a SW pro about SolidJott today? If you have not do so that is how the community develops… Might even get that guy that asks you annoying questions off you back

Have you told a friend about SolidJott today? If not go out and let everyone know about it.
If you really like the addin please donate to help develop this into themostfriggincooladdinever status. You can hit the donate button on the right hand side and put in what you think is a good price but I have been asking for the cost of a couple of fancy coffees or 5-10 dollars, not much considering what you get….
Soon a tutorial video on how to install SolidJott and use it will be at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpKrbWZueKU
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, 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 to help the community tech support revolution.
I welcome all the new users today! Wow! If you like the addin for SolidJott do me a favor and tell any other SolidWorks user you know about it then, the guy in the cubicle next to you, the office over, at the Usergroup meeting, online forums… I think you get the picture. The more people we have the more functional this becomes.
You can always download it from the right hand side of this site under “SolidWorks Addin”
We have been having a problem with the profile pictures uploading properly on everyones profile. I am working on fixing that ASAP but want to keep the tru functionality of posting going first. We will have all your beautiful faces up shortly.
You can download the Addin here:
And you can read more about it here:
It’s Here! It’s Here! Raise the Banners and Sound the Trumpets It’s Here!
The SolidJott plugin for SolidWorks is here. 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. Note: Remember to switch the view preferences to ‘SolidWorks View’ on the right hand side of the window when in SolidWorks, if you cannot see the right hand side there is a slider at the bottom of the pane to allow you to scroll over to it.
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 loose 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 loosing 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.
Over the weekend there will be some changes happening to this site. Bear with me and next week prepare for a really cool whizzy suprise.
You will be able to use the site like you have, but it might be morphing into a new look.

What is OXYGEN No 3?
Hey Ben, very nice. I’ll be blogging about it of course.
Ok here is a quick question for all of you. I am looking at how to get the API to show a HTML page in the tabs on the Task Pane in SolidWorks. Here is a pic of what I am looking for… http://drop.io/gvw3o5o/asset/interface02
