It seems to me like I’ve been out of touch with everything lately. I have certainly neglected this blog and haven’t even kept up with the entire buzz about SolidWorks related news, forums and blogs.  I apologize to those that have sent questions through email asking for help, and never received an answer. I wasn’t ignoring you, I was simply too busy working on a non-modeling, but SolidWorks related little job that happened to fall into my hands, and that needed immediate and undivided attention.  I’m sorry I can’t tell you details about it. What I can say is that it’s was fun and challenging.  At times, it was a bit stressful, but I did learn a lot from it, though, and I believe this blog will eventually benefit from that experience.

Now I’m trying to catch up with the rest of the world, although I know that’s just impossible. I did notice, however, that this year DS SolidWorks came up with something new: contests! And the prize is free admission to SolidWorks World 2010! That’s so cool!

I think their second contest is currently going on and it’s open to those that have never been to SolidWorks World.  From what I understand, all you have to do is leave a comment on their blog describing a first SolidWorks related experience of your own. It can be your first user group meeting, your first experience using SolidWorks, your first finished model. Hmmm, I wonder if writing about the first time you overdefined a model, or your first crash would also be acceptable…  Never mind that! If you have never been to SolidWorks World and you want to get in for free, courtesy of DS SolidWorks, then head over to that blog and write your heart away.
