Question: Why Do You Go To SolidWorks.com?

Hello! if you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the SolidSmack RSS feed or to the free email updates. Thanks for visiting!

If you’ve taken a quick excursion to SolidWorks.com you’ll notice some new slick graphics (love the sliding effect), more quicklinks and a smooth modern gray replacing the lovely orange hue.

One of the content blocks down below the featured content has a question that asks “What can SolidWorks do for you?”

This got me thinking. What can they do? Why do you want go to SolidWorks.com? Is it to get to the forums or see videos? Your company (in most cases) buys the software, so why does it matter to you? Are there things that are missing you wish they had?

I usually go there to get to the forums. sometimes the stuff on the front page catches my attention. I've always wanted something that show how people like me use solidworks. the case studies are a little shallow.

I go there occasionally but it is still hard to navigate and find things. They have to learn bling and cool graphics dont make up for a poorly designed site... Anyhow I check out the forums once and a while and there are some good tutorials and videos there but here is the catch, find them! Or find them in less than 10 min.... Highly unlikely you can

Why I go to the SolidWorks webpage? For a great deal of things, for the last 12 years there has been allot of times that I needed information, links, & help from this site. Yes, it was a little poor on navigating through it at the time but, it has improved. This site really helps out Engineers when they are stuck or can’t get help. The links that this site has is a great advantage for any engineer. Also, the information for the computer graphics cards and partners data base is handy for anyone.

I'd probably go more often if I knew when there was new stuff available. new tips, videos or software stuff.
