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.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog","https:\/\/x.com\/swsuper"],"url":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/?author=2"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/20190414_192520-cr.jpg?fit=1836%2C2754&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5693"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5708,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5693\/revisions\/5708"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5693"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fcsuper.com\/swblog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=5693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
