Seattle Area SolidWorks Power User Group
Hi all!
It’s been a while so I thought I’d give you a ‘heads up’ on our next meeting. It’ll be June 18 at Lake Washington. Elliot Weber from Hawk Ridge will be one presenter and I’m currently taking volunteers for a second presenter (hint, hint).
Also, if all goes according to plan, we’ll be having a meeting in August as a VIP from SolidWorks will be making a swing through the Northwest. The date hasn’t been decided yet, but I’ll let you know once everything has been formalized.
I recently started teaching at Lake Washington Institute of Technology, and passed out these Tips & Tricks to my students. It then dawned on me that some of you may find a use for them as well, so here you go!
Thanks to everyone who showed up at the meeting last week. We had a good turnout with about 32 in attendance. Already looking forward to a meeting in June.
Speaking of the next meeting, does anyone know of a local company that would like to sponsor a meeting? We tend to bounce between Lake Washington Tech in Kirkland and Renton Tech in, well, Renton. I think it would be pretty cool to be able to have it in a different venue. If you do, shoot me a message and let’s talk!
Our first meeting of the year is over and, for the most part, I think it went well. Bob’s presentation was well received and Ben’s presentation on Delcam for SolidWorks garnered a lot of interest. People seemed interested and engaged. I’d have to say that the sandwiches from JimmyJohn’s were a big hit as well.
Thanks, everyone. See you in June!
Many thanks to our sponsors: SolidWorks, SolidProfessor and The Rapid Group.
Just over a week until our first SASPUG meeting of 2013, and I’m getting excited.
