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?

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...
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...
In a part model, is there a way to link the scale factor field to an equation in the assembly it reports to? It seems like just about everything else driven by a numeric value can be controlled this way, but I haven't figured out how to do it with the scale factor.

Anyone know how to use 3d instant web site to publish content to a sub page of your own web site? Seems like a pretty simple question. I must be overlooking something obvious. On the other hand, I asked the same question of my VAR today & they forwarded it to SolidWorks, so maybe it's not so...
Is there a way to link sketch text to properties? I have a crank with several lengths possible. The length of the crank will be engraved on it. I know I can have a feature for each configuration and just supress the ones that don't apply (I would do this in a design table, of course), but is...
Does anyone know how to control the defualt viewing angle in a 3d instant web site? In other words, I want the viewer to first see the model from a specific direction, but haven't figured out how to make that happen. Charley Leonard

I need to build a roller-chain drive system with variable sizes for the sprockets and chain. I've got the part models (actually I could use a better link model than what I have, if anyone has a good one, but that's not the main issue). I just need advice on the best (and most efficient) way to...
Does anyone have access to a copy of either a 2D cad drawing or a hand drawing of a trumpet? I'm not going into the musical instrument manufacturing business & have no intention of stealing the design. What I want to do is create a promotional graphic that shows a SolidWorks model of a trumpet...
