This year, I’ve been on a kind of unorganized SOLIDWORKS User Group tour. \u00a0I’ve presented at user groups in Tulsa, OK, Denver, CO and Seattle, WA. \u00a0The diversity of meeting locations never ceases to surprize me: hotel conference rooms, high school machine shops, college meeting rooms, libraries. \u00a0BTW, I’m not pictured in any of the photos below, as I was the one who took these photos of other speakers at these events.<\/p>\n

In Tulsa and Denver, I presented on Drawing Views. \u00a0As simple as this topic may seem for many, even experienced users have told me they learn something new when I talk about Drawing Views.<\/p>\n

In Seattle, I presented on SOLIDWORKS drawing functionality that has been added since SOLIDWORKS 2013. \u00a0Even though most of the capabilities I discussed were available since SOLIDWORKS 2014 and 2015, even seasoned users of SOLIDWORKS 2016 jumped up with excitement as they found out about “new” functionality.<\/p>\n
