Cruuuunch. Remember the sound, because it’s likely to be the last thing you hear as you see the contents of your body somehow digested through the visible Endoskeleton support structure of the latest in robo-gadgetry, the Eccerobot. If the name isn’t enough to make you contemplate full, electro-conductive body armor options, the clunky movement of the Eccerobot may be.

How does a little more automation and a little less hassle sound to you? If you’re familiar with working with extruded text in a model, there’s no doubt you’ve had times it would have worked out beautifully to control it with a Custom Property through configurations. In SolidWorks 2010, you can now control what type is shown with the raw power OF YOUR MIND… and also a Design Table and a Custom Property. It’s easy. You should learn the steps below, show it to your coworkers, and bask in the adulation.

Kinda new, anyway. Call it an upgrade of sorts. It attempts to make the whole configuration creation a whole lot easier. What I’m wondering is if you’ll use it or go about the old way of creating configurations with those wonderfully formatted Design Tables you love. Take a look. See what you think. Will you use it?
That’s it. For the last time you’ve tossed your bicycle over the bridge. The traffic is maddening, the weather is ruining your stylish hair, and you’ve had just about all you can take of your leg being eaten by gear teeth as you round that one curve. If only there were a human-powered, weatherproof container that rises above all of the madness. It just so happens, there is, and it’s called… the Shweeb. The goal is simple, provide an urban transportation system that elevates the rider above the bustle of the city, providing a clean, fast commute.

Oooo, did I just use Multi-touch and SolidWorks in the same sentence? Yes, yes I did, but don’t get too excited yet. We need to talk about a couple new UI features you’ll see in 2010.
