I left the VAR world about 13 years ago, and Arthur NY absolutely nailed it! On the other side of the phone/email it was pretty easy to tell which customers had good/bad experiences on previous tech calls - which quickly evolved into them asking if specific people were available when they would call...

:lol: Interestingly (and frustratingly,) I too often find solidworks doesn't pick up the tab key when panning too.. I'm expecting the model to drag across the screen, instead it spins in place.. Sometimes I question if I'm going crazy or just getting clumsy . 🙄 I'm not sure if this is what you are ...

Todd, I agree with everything you said, except this part. Don't ask them. Just do it. Beg forgiveness later if anyone complains. What can go wrong? :lol: Would have saved me WEEKS at a place I used to work - The amount of time that was spent just going over how to "sign" the print was inc...

Wow, just wow . . . Not even sure where to start, so I'll go with this: "Shaken, not stirred, will get you cold water with a dash of gin and dry vermouth. The reason you stir it with a special spoon is so not to chip the ice. James is ordering a weak martini and being snooty about it." It'...

Hey Glenn, Enjoy the time off with your wife, it's well deserved. I envy the temperatures you are having, we're slowly getting closer to freezing temperatures over here. We'll hit 101 (F) today, and will be down to 57 (F) tomorrow night - I believe the low next week is 46 (F) Gotta love the temp sw...

I left the VAR in late 2010. A couple years later they split/sold the offices to two different VARs. In the last 2 or 3 years, GoEngineer bought out both of those VARs. It would have been an interesting "reunion" for us to be working under the same umbrella again, but I don't think many of...

Hey Dan, I don't have a lot to add, other than "Hey, How are you doing?" We are usually a release behind, because we need to remain compatible with BySoft (Software for our lasers & press brakes) We are currently on 2021 SP2.0 (I'm at SP5.1, but I don't use BySoft, so I "snuck&quo...

Indeed. First you move them from a pile to the cart. Then go to casher. Move them on you car. Move them off the car. Move them to where you want them. Before you pass out, you've moved a few 1000 lb. I was going to be "totally lazy" and have them dump the rock in our driveway. It would st...

We bought an old house in 1989, stripped it down to the studs, put in all new plumbing, wiring, sheetrock, etc, with me doing a lot of the work. We remodeled the kitchen and both bathrooms and painted everything else in 2019, but I did a lot less (just some of the painting). I told my wife that the...

That's what Patrick McManus calls sequences... You get to the 5th step in the sequence and you give up out of despair and go fishing! Much less work and stress that way! P.S.

I didn't want to clutter up the VAR discussion thread with stories of "I've been so busy," so I'll do it here . . . Let's just say that I've been running around like a 3-legged cat trying to bury poop on a frozen pond. Really, really, really busy at work, and there are a TON of home projec...

VARs acquiring other VARs has been the trend for a number of years now. After I left my job as an AE in 2010, the VAR that I worked for was purchased TWICE. We are now part of the GoEngineer network - I've known a lot of the people on their team for a very long time, so it has been good. The "f...

Hey All, I had a great conversation with John S. the other night when he took a break from insulating his new walk-in cooler. The pig roasting season is slowing down, and he is using his time to start gearing up and getting ready for next year. He said that they are also working on spices/rubs that ...

It's back to school time again, and this year, WMMR's Back to School A-to-Z began this morning at 6:30. WMMR is a terrestrial radio station that plays, "Everything that Rocks". This annual event plays nearly their entire library, in alphabetical order - which means no repeats for about 11...

Hi Todd, Great initiative you started. Thx for the feedback I´ve been contacted by the Solidworks swugn manager and applied for it today. Eddy Thanks!

Why do you need to break them? You can post the whole video with time stamps hyperlinks in the description. This is how I post the recordings of my training courses for the students who attend them.

There are several names there that are familiar to me, and probably most of you also, but I saw one that may not be as well known.

It'll answer the question: How many left in the fridge? When you're in beer store. Not that it'll change how much you'll buy. I've often thought about a "beer fridge app" - something to scan the bar code when you bring the beer home, and mark the quantity before you put it in the fridge. ...

They probably won't want to hear about spending more money, but you could replicate your servers at both locations with PDM Professional, so everyone would be seeing/working with the EXACT same files.

@MJuric is correct, Turning is not included with standard SolidWorks CAM.
