Presentation:

When was the last time you updated your SOLIDWORKS document templates?

Ed Eaton  |  DiMonte Group Inc.

Mark Termion  |  DiMonte Group

Ed has presented at SOLIDWORKS World and User Group meetings several times, always entertaining and educational.

There have been a lot of improvements and neat features added to document templates over the years.  After you first set up your templates it’s easy to forget about them – that’s the great thing about document templates for Parts, Assemblies, and Drawings.  But it also means that it’s on us to revisit them every few years to be sure we aren’t missing out on anything that could help us work better in SOLIDWORKS. In addition to the obvious document properties, during this presentation we’ll be talking about things in the feature tree, in configuration properties, in lights, etc. that are also part of the templates that will make us more productive and prevent errors.  We’ll also be opening the floor for everybody to share what they have in their templates that they can’t live without!

We feel that this is an especially appropriate subject for our 25th Anniversary. This is the type of stuff we did at the beginning of CSUG, where we were all just trying to figure stuff out and share what we learned. 25 years later and we’re still learning.

We will have the usual pizza and soft drinks for refreshments, along with a door prize drawing (if we have prizes to give away). The meeting should adjourn around 8:30pm.

No RSVP necessary.

Join us at MRIGlobal North Kansas City facility for a night of food, networking and of course a GREAT SolidWorks presentation.
