Do you do weldments of square structural tubing?

I would like to talk with someone who does weldments of square
structural tubing in their normal work. This represents 80% of my
work (I design the structural aspects of theatrical sets), and the
final 20% will be mechanically actuated theatrical stuff.

When I saw the message titled "Goodby origin" I realized that I need
to check into SolidWorks a little more before I really make the jump.
See, I am just the kind of person to uncover bugs that others are
perhaps not noticing because they do thing like most of the other
users. I am hoping that talking with a person who does similar kind
of construction will uncover issues that I won't be aware of as a
novice with SW.

If you would be willing to talk with me, just E-mail me you phone
number to call via the address above (which will be abandoned in a
month or so), or via my real e-mail... lets see how can I put this on
the message, but hide from the spammers...

Thank you for the heads-up. I may contact you again once I get into
an actual project.

Is there a more active discussion group anywhere for Solidworks? I
did search for a discussion group on Solidworks web site, and
eventually found a link to one. However, there was much less activity
there than here. On the Autodesk controled discussion group there are
easly over 100 new messages a day. They've even loosened the controls
to allow some pointed discussion lately.

My posts to Usenet (done via Google's group site) take around 1 day
to appear on the list. Although, some people seem to see my messages
before I do, because there is often a few replies when it does appear
(I wonder why?). Of course, using the usenet also takes extreme
measures to hide from spammers.

I find it hard top believe this is the most active discussion
area.... any others?

 

hello Smiley,
Just though I would butt in to tell you the best way to access this group
is to sign up to a news server and use Outlook express or similar-your
messages will appear in minutes-google is useful to search but way too slow.
This group is pretty dead on weekends but I think has about 70 posts per day
during the US week... at the moment SW users are a fairly contented mob
whereas Inventor sufferers have been quite vocal......
There is another place where many people seem to go and can be found at
www.eng-tips.com ..has a slightly different flavour to this
group...probably more expert users here.....[.no I am not one : )]
cheers
