Because of my concerted effort to keep my schedule under control, my experience at SolidWorks World 2011 was a little more sane.\u00a0 I was able to make more time for\u00a0breakout sessions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I enjoyed the informal format of Devon Sowell’s presentation, Demonstrating Workgroup PDM to Enterprise PDM Migration<\/em>.\u00a0 In his session, he involved the audience in the discussion.\u00a0 Questions from the audience where frequently fielded, along with suggestions and ideas.\u00a0 The presentation talked about utilities that simplify the migration process, including one that is only available from a VAR.<\/p>\n
Other sessions\u00a0I attended include information on VB.NET programming, ASME Y14.5-2009, and other PDM topics.<\/p>\n
I\u00a0also encountered a couple of breakout sessions by individuals that did not seem as prepared as they should’ve been.\u00a0 There seems to always be\u00a0some sessions\u00a0like this each year at SolidWorks World, unfortunately.\u00a0 Of course, it’s not completely unavoidable.\u00a0 Sometimes things just don’t seem to work during the presentation, even if they did work flawlessly during practices.<\/p>\n
Overall, I had a fruitful experience at this year’s SolidWorks World.\u00a0 I’ll talk a bit about my own presentation in a later article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
