    I have several Solidprofessor instructional videos, and am more than
    pleased with them other than the fact that only two installations are
    allowed and if you have a hard drive problem or have to format your
    drive for any reason, and have one installation on your desktop and
    one on your notebook,well you can guess the rest.

    If someone here is familiar with the I get it instruction system, I
    would appreciate an answer to the following questions.
    1. what do you think of the quality of instruction?
    2. is the format comprised of both audio and video?
    3. what are the licensing restrictions with regards to amount of
    installations allowed.

    I will thank anyone who responds to these questions in advance,

    Myigetit videos are Flash and can be saved. I don't believe there is
    any copy protection. I like the quality of instruction. I don't know
    what the licensing restrictions are. Myigetit covers subjects
    SolidProfessor doesn't. Why not sign up and check out the free
    SolidWorks videos for yourself?

    Hope this helps,

    You know this from stealing the online demos?
    No clues, eh? Or thinking of copy ==> Ebay?
    "I hope to finish the SolidProfessor videos I just purchased ( $600
    Professional Package) in the next 2 weeks. When I do, I'll spend the $25 for the
    myigetit SolidWorks 2007 course and see if that smokes your SolidWorks Bible as
    well .." - Jul 14 2007 by jon_banquer

    "For those on a budget they can try the $25 myigetit SolidWorks course. I
    intend to try it myself as soon as I finish the SolidProfessor videos on
    SolidWorks." - Nov 4 2007 by jon_banquer ?

    I have been told that I Get It CD's are not involved at all and that
    all the video lessons are viewed on the Internet. Also, there are
    limitations with regards to how many times you can access the
    lessons. This is almost as restrictive as being allowed only two
    installations, using the Solidprofessor system, which I feel is
    ridiculous, seeing as how unstable Windows OS is, or how easy it is to
    be infected by a virus and needing to format.
    I have submitted two e-mails to I Get It support, asking them to
    elaborate and confirm what I mention above, and never even received
    the common courtesy of a response.

    dissapointed,
    Regina Alden

    I have been told that I Get It CD's are not involved at all and that
    When you view an igetit video it's stored in your Temp Internet files.
    All you have to do is save the file and you can watch it as many times
    as you want off-line. Not a big deal.
    Not if you do what I suggest above.
    I've had nothing but problems with the .net SolidProfessor user
    interface. I got so disgusted I just view the videos without the
    SolidProfessor interface. I mentioned it and they said no one else has
    complained but me. Other than that they seem like very nice people and
    have been very responsive to my other requests.
    I get very prompt response from myigetit. No complaints.
    I'm disappointed that there are not better CAM choices that run inside
    SolidWorks that do a better job with handling production machining.
    Hopefully HSMWorks will start to address some of these issues soon.

  6. The main problem I see with I get it is a Complete lack of
    structure... the first course on the list is API programming.
    SolidProfessor on the other hand has an some structure, but due to the
    fact that they sell through resellers their aim is to not in anyway
    replace reseller train but on the other hand add value to it.

    Now the www.inspirtech.com approach is to offer a COMPLETE solution
    for learning the fundamentals of SolidWorks. The courses are
    structured to guide a new user through the fine details of getting
    going in SolidWorks and they provide more Examples and Exercises with
    recorded video solutions then any other training solution on the
    market. Users who wish to accelerate the time taken to learn
    SolidWorks can easy navigate the videos to the key informative spots.
    Users of course are still encouraged to visit their VAR to receive the
    advanced level training. So, for those individuals who employers want
    you to learn the concepts on your own before they will invest in you
    for more advanced training.... www.Inspirtech.com

    Companies and Schools can harness the power of the LMS to manage and
    track employee and student progress. Additional, companies who wish
    can have custom training developed and distributed over our powerful
    web based LMS.
