What's the best notebook computer for a SolidWorks consultant to have? Anybody using one with a 17+ inch monitor? Any opinions/insight as to why Dell doesn't offer one, even though HP, and a few others do?

13,
I'd say MadMango sums it up pretty much in line with my thinking.
All I have to add is that it boils down to two types of contractors; those who own their own CAD software and those who don't (probably the majority, especially if you're talking about drafting help). They both serve...
As I understand it, you can't offset, thicken, or shell inward thicker than the smallest radius in the outside surface. Anyone know a simple workaround for this? To further define my particular question, I have a free form surface defining the outside of my part, which is shaped somewhat like...
Well, I think there were a couple thousand of us in Orlando. I thought a healthy portion of that was users (like myself), but maybe not. I know it was down from the previous year in Vegas, but I just thought it was because of the general economic hard times. I'm not thrilled about breaking up...
Anyone heard any dates & locations for SolidWorks World 2004? According to announcments at SWW2003, it will be devided up by region, but that's all I know so far. Maybe someone with more of an inside scoop can share.

Anybody out there doing cable & harness design in their solid models & getting usable documentation output? EmbassyWorks, the only package I knew of that did that in SolidWorks, is discontinued. AutoDesk has purchased Linius, the company who developed EmbassyWorks (the SolidWorks add-in version...
This was my second SWW outing. I, too, really enjoyed and benefitted from the event overall. Regarding the tommorowland party, maybe they should have 2 nighttime events, one with unlimited free booze (for which the Tuesday night event is famous), and another more family-friendly event (perhaps...
Hoganh,
If your views are already created and dimensioned, the easiest way to change from 3rd to 1st angle without the problem you're describing is probably to drag the side and top views to the opposite side of the front view from where they are now, without changing the orientation of the...
MadMango, or anyone else in the know:
I'm attending SWW in Orlando this year, and am trying to decide whether or not to reserve a rental car. What's your input on the subject? Is it needed? Charley Leonard

Regarding temporarily holding the sketch in place while you're getting the rest of the sketch constrained to itself, Scott Mentioned putting a couple of temporary dimensions to the origin, so you can see everything turn black as it becomes defined. Another way, is to temporarily put a...
oops again!
"D2@Sketch18" = .625-(2*"Thickness@Sheet-Metal1")
should be
"D2@Sketch18" = .625-"Thickness@Sheet-Metal1"
because in this case you only need to subtract one time the thickness. Sorry Charley Leonard

Addendum to my previous reply. In the work-around, I left out doing the same thing to the flange dimensions.
Brooke, I'm resending the file. Here are the equations I forgot:
"D2@Sketch18" = .625-(2*"Thickness@Sheet-Metal1")
"D1@Sketch18" =...
