It looks like something that doesn’t exist except in the movies. Since the Ironman Movie launched last week I’ve been trying to get my hands on some video of the stinkin’ cool 3D holo-CAD user interface he uses to design the MarkIII he goes kickin’ butt in. If you’ve seen the movie you already know…
It looks like a pre-programmed bunch of flippy things making your phone look cooler than those plain jane iPhones, that’s what it looks like. The HTC Touch Diamond is the next amazing 3D interface stuffed into a tiny 2.8 inch display to make you strap that drool-cup on again. Sure its tiny, but you can…
First Person to Ask a Question
The first person to asks a question about SolidWorks in the comments below will turn this post into a 100% grade-A topic for everyone to join in on. All I ask, is that it’s not a question like, why does SolidWorks suck or can eyes really pop out of their socket… this is serious stuff people.
So ask away, chime in if you know the answer, and we’ll crank out another topic that will send people home to their families in a pleasant mood.
The Mystery Question IS…
UPDATE: Steve Calvert ask… “Will Solidworks follow Siemens (UGS) with more direct modeling techniques or are we just stuck with history based modeling?”
Whoa Steve, you are opening up all sorts of debate! 🙂
It’s new and shiny and doesn’t hurt, plus… The conversation is happening there You find out stuff before anyone else You have access to people you normally wouldn’t I’ve meet a lot of people and a lot of SolidWorks users I’ve found new CAD related and SolidWorks Blogs (see below) It’s pretty amazing when you…
Do you like that toolbar?
I know there’s lots of opinions both ways about it. I actually don’t mind it too much.

Looks a bit silly, but I can’t find a flyout anywhere to add to my shortcut bar (S).
I’m lovin’ the Glow
If I remember correctly, RealView is on and has the Light Cards scene applied by default. Real View is what makes faces and edges glow really pretty like when you select them (thanks for the correction Brian). I have no idea what the term light card means, but I like that scene the best. I don’t have the best graphics card, but using RealView makes my job easier in ways I really like… and people… it makes things glow. Glowing stuff = cool… or something you catch on a warm summer night and smear across the wall. (poor lightning bugs. you’re so mean.) Here’s a RealView quick tip and a bit more.
