Tip of the Day

[purecoda]

I was wondering if there's a way to view the entire SolidWorks "Tip of the Day" list. I'm running SW 2005 SP2.0

Thanks

I copied this from some other post awhile back, but have never tried it myself.

They're compiled into a DLL called "sldtodu.dll" found in the "lang\english" (or whatever language you're interested in) folder.

You can view them with a resource editor (like this one:

but I couldn't save them to a file. Maybe a better resource explorer would work.

Thanks. I tired opening it with a program called Resource Hacker, which while it was able to display all the tips, it doesn't look like there's a clean and easy way to print the list.

There isn't an easy "copy and paste" all option for this. I did this with SW 2004 and pasted it into Excel using "resource hacker". I had to open each "section", if you will, and copy and paste that section into excel. It was time consuming.
