Great Solidworks Tutorials

Hello,

If you are interested in learning Solidworks , visit Ebay. There are
many great CD and DVD packages.
One that really stands out in excellence is created by FX CAD
SOLUTIONS, and the price is very reasonable.

I am definitely not trying to spam!
My intention is to let others out there who
are trying to learn the software, be aware of some excellent material
available to them. I have this DVD, and let me tell you something
there Scott,
I had spent 1600.00 US once on a Solidworks course, and i absolutely
cannot compare
to what i have mastered with this particular DVD.
If this somehow offends you, then just ignore it, ang get on with your
life.
Others might be interested in what i have to say.

Scott,

Do you have any comments on the quality of the video training you
purchased and whether it's complete enough for your tastes?

Do you have a direct link for FX CAD Solutions video training?

Who did you buy from?

I purchased this DVD Tutorial set from eBay seller "digitaltg" without
problems. The shipping and handling charges are clearly spelled out in
the listing, $12.25 for regular shipping and $22.25 expedited.

Of the 251 feedback ratings for this seller there is one negative
rating and it is not related to shipping charges. I am one of the many
buyers that left positive feedback and I would buy from this seller
again.

Sorry to hear your experience was not a positive one.

Curious, when did you buy your disks? I just wonder if it was when
they first started selling the disks and maybe weren't organized.

And one last question. Did you leave feedback? Because negative
feedback for shipping doesn't seem to show up in their feedback
profile.

Tom

 

Actually that happened to me early on at eBay, (not this seller) but a
guy in his listing stated that if buyer pays with certified funds he
would ship immediately. I paid with certified funds, he waited more
than two weeks after he got paid to ship. I left negative feedback and
he retaliated leaving negative feedback for me. It is the 1 negative
feedback I received out of 130+ purchases.

Greyhound,

Thanks for your post. I found it very helpful.

Right now I think I'd rather spend more of my hard earned money and go
with Solid Professor unless someone else knows of another video
alternative that I'm not aware of.

Perhaps "Roger Rabbit" ....

 

As I think I noted before, you seem to be new here.
JB is a (if not THE) crazed buzzword & ad-for-demo king.
It's all mostly BS from ads & advertising hype & stolen from the
posts of others in NGs & on BBS systems.

He's posted under several names over the years as well. He's not
an actual user of much of anything (much less SW) AFAIK & lacks
even the basic concepts to do so IMHO.

However: http://www.geocities.com/banquercadcam/index.html
Comments from users (from only a *one week period*), many of whom
post to this very NG: http://www.geocities.com/banquercadcam/usenetpost.htm

Some of the unanswered: http://tinyurl.com/2uqtyq

Some "expert opines" on SW starting in about 1998

Now ask yourself: should he NEED basic "instructional" videos?
AFAIK He never actually *buys* anything either (though one
"boss" did make & give him pictures of triangles a few years ago
per him .. he was so proud .. he could look up what a "sine"
was at long, long last).

But he's FUN ! And I liked Roger Rabbit too <G>.

HTH

 

NEVER buy from Ebay unless the person selling lives next door!
Bunch of crooks, the lot of them.
Yes to your forth coming question, EVERY time except once, (when Ebay first
started), I have been stung by these pirates, even the power sellers with
100% good feedback. Went down to 99% after I left feedback, hehe

Burn the lot of them, lol

 

Wow, Scott, Thanks!

It just so happens that SW Bibles are on sale on eBay right now, as a
BuyItNow, today and tomorrow. The person selling them for me has a 100%
rating, so if we get an order for "pete", we will immediately refund his
money in full, and send him a post card with a smiley face on it instead
of a book. Sorry pete, but your post spells it out pretty well.

I just read recently somewhere on one of the blogs that "Marketing is
something you do if your product sucks." I thought that was hilarious,
so I try to avoid shilling.

I just found the reference, it was in Roopinder Tara's CAD Insider blog,
retelling a story by Michael Hawley, and I slightly misquoted:
"Marketing is what you do when your product sucks "

Hi Matt,
I went the safe way and brought your bible from Amazon, it came next day,
all nice and new!

Can I still have the postcard with the smily face though? lol

 

No problem. The ones I send out are brand new except that people
sometimes ask me to scribble on a page inside. You can never tell with
some folks.

Anyway, here you are: ;o)

(sorry if it's a little smirkish. saves me the postage - the margins are
pretty tight in the book business. pun unintentional)

 

AhHa!
I know what you need to do for the people without the scribble, you could
supply a page holder, (book mark in the UK), with a nice photograph of you
on both sides, peeping over the top, lol

The file, could be on your web site, to download and print.
Just think of the fame!!!

;-)

 

You've obviously never seen me. My picture is more likely to get hung in
the post office or on the back of a milk carton. Notice that they didn't
put my pic in the book. There's a reason for that.
