    Just did a quick search about this but couldn't see right away if
    anyone has been sharing...

    The SW default material database is limited in size, and I'm curious if
    anyone out there has been adding materials to a custom database like I
    have been? If so, does anyone want to share? ;)

    It seems a little ridiculous that I'll probably need to add several of
    the same materials that bob, joe, susan, and billy all already added at
    their respective workplaces! How come SW doesn't just spend the time
    to have a 'programmer' sit and input a whole long list of materials for
    the SW material database before the product ships??

    Is there a better solution?

    Thanks in advance!

    Keith,

    Have you tried this from MatWeb? Is it pretty seamless?

    I asked this before but got no response and assumed that no one had.
    I would gladly pay the $40 or whatever it is to be able to get some useful
    materials without jumping through all the hoops.
