| Ricky Gets Lost, and Lots of People Know About It | SolidWorks Community | |
While I'm not a huge fan of Twitter, I do take a daily look at it just to see if there are any interesting tidbits from the SolidWorks Community. There are the occasional UG meeting announcements (@housug), links to interesting projects (@KsMason71), blog post notices (@avephoenix, @gol10dr, @SolidSmack), and alot of morning coffee updates (@everyonedoesthis). This morning when I checked Twitter, I ran across a long list of posts fromChristie Jordan,North Alabama SolidWorks User GroupleaderRicky Jordan's better half. I had added Christie (@SouthernPlate) to my following list after she posted this on herblog(read the part about engineers). Seems Ricky and his family are on a little road trip, and he's trying out a new GPS App for his iPhone. Here are a couple of teasers from the "conversation": and then this one.... it gets even better now.... and perhaps my favorite.... These are just a few, the entire conversation is much longer and VERY funny - I was laughing out loud the whole time I was reading. If your a Twitter user, follow @SouthernPlate to see the entire thing. While you're at it, follow @rickyjordan - I'm sure he we'll be hearing his side of the story soon. |

| Helping Other Users Via The SolidWorks Community | Mike Puckett's Blog | |
Online blogs are a very good source for information when you need it. I myself have found information on various topics many times simply by reading technical posting on blogs on a variety of topics. This weekend someone posted a question about sheet metal functions in SolidWorks:
Now I will be the first to admit that I am no expert when it comes to sheet metal tools in SolidWorks. As a former mold designer, we simply never used them in out designs. So I posted the question on twitter and within about 20 minutes or so had a few very good responses:
I also asked a colleague of mine who answered yes to question #1, and in regards to question #2, yes, but only in 2009 and newer versions. Perhaps if anyone has any further input to the original question they can comment below. Thanks to the Twitter participants for allowing me to share their responses. |

| Yeah, but WHY? | Matt Writes | |
SolidWorks is very proud (and defensive) of their documentation process which they call “task-based”. To be fair, it has worked well enough for them for the training materials which generally are well rated. Task-based training means that you train people by giving them steps to perform in the course of a “task” of some sort.
