Orlando User Group Meeting

Magic Kingdom evening fireworks show

I’ve been to Orlando, FL a couple times in the past. Each time was for SOLIDWORKS World. For the first time in many years, I’ve come to Orlando again. But, this time I came to visit customers directly and to participate in the user group meeting for the Greater Orlando SOLIDWORKS User Group.

The user group meeting was held at Disney University, though typically it is happens at other locations in the area. We gathered around in an unusual configuration. This was sort of a roundtable discussion, rather than the more traditional slideshow or live demonstration.

In addition to participating in the local user group meeting, several SOLIDWORKS team members and I stayed longer to visit with customers to learn firsthand how they are using SOLIDWORKS products. These meetings involve directly learning from the end-users on how these products can be improve to better suit customer needs.

Exploring the Town

Did I do anything else while in town? What’s really there to do in Orlando? We did find an interesting restaurant; and after-hours we ended up at some fun locations.

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.
