    dual monitors or a large one large one

    With my aging eyes and all of the multi-tasking, switching between windows, it would be nice to TRY 2 - 30 inchers. Something like the Dell or HP. What graphics cards are dual monitor folks using?

    GearTrax 2006

    Well installing went well but it didn't work. After creating the gear/pulley and GearTrax starts SW the resulting error is "GearTrax is not compatible with this version of SolidWorks". Surprise, Surprise. Another way to get into your pocket, again. GearTrax is a really good program that...

    GearTrax 2006

    As soon as I can get clear of this swamp full of alligators, and go buy a 6 pack of wobbly pops, I'm going to give it a shot. I will just attempt an install of GearTrax to SW 2007. It's worth a shot. I'll let ya know what happens.

    Frame Generator?

    I couldn't remember what it was called. As I recall, how the function works, is you sketch a model and SW will generate a fully framed up model using the structural steel of your choice. If that is part of weldments, I will check out the tutorials. Thanx.

    Frame Generator?

    Does Solidworks have a function that is similar to this NEW Inventor function called Frame Generator. I recall that I came across this ability in Solidworks back a couple of versions ago. At that time I didn't have a use for it, and now that I can use it, I can't locate it. What's new!! Any...

    Need Laptop Advice

    Has anyone used or considered the Alienware MJ-12M 7700 laptop? It comes in P4 flavors up to 3.8GHx. It has some really awsome specs including either a ATI Mobility RADEON X800 with 256MB DDR3 or NVIDIA GeForce 6800GO with 256MB DDR3 or NVIDIA Quadro FX Go 1400 with 256MB DDR3 video card...
