Hi, Since it seems like this usenet group is dying/drying up fast, I should ask now - where are all the cool kids hanging out now? Also, if you only had time to follow 1 or 2 (or 3 or 4 or more) websites/forums for SW what would they be? (I'm new to Solidworks - just got access to SW2009 premium and am working the tutorials, reading SW 2009 Bible by Lombard and Commands Guilde for SW 2009 by Planchard(s)) Here are some sites I've heard about and started looking at - seems like I'm just scratching the surface <humor attempt> [URL]http://dezignstuff.com/blog/[/URL] [URL]http://forum.solidworks.com[/URL] [URL]http://www.richardwhall.com[/URL] [URL]http://solidmuse.com[/URL] [URL]http://www.solidsmack.com[/URL]
