SolidWorks World officially starts today (unofficially, two days ago)

SolidWorks World 2013 officially starts today.  The General Session promises to be great.  Yet, somehow, I’ve been busy since Saturday.  That’s because there is a significant amount of interaction with customers before the official start.  As mentioned by Matthew West on the SolidWorks Blog, the Product Definition and User Experience groups were conducting Alpha Testing for future releases.  Even more interaction with customers occurs on Sunday.  Some formal events occur on Sunday, like the CAD Managers Bootcamp.  Some informal events like the Tweepup were also scheduled.

Now it’s Monday morning.   Monday is usually a very busy day of the conference.  I’m looking forward to the day.  Last year, the experience of being employed by SolidWorks lead me to posting almost nothing during SolidWorks World.  I hope to be able to buck that trend this year, and post at least a few times on SolidWorks Legion.   If you are at the show, please pop by the Product Definition booth in the Northern Foyer.  You can find me there this afternoon.  Now, it’s time for me to go eat breakfast and prepare for the day!  And, keep an eye out for tweets from everyone at #sww13.

As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991. For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine. Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors. More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas. View all posts by fcsuper
