The session outlined automation tools, keyboard shortcuts and other basic things users could to do increase productivity.
Senthil and Farid presented "Designing Large Machines Using SolidWorks 2005". This presentation outlined the machine design process stages and highlighted areas where SolidWorks can impact the design cycle, especially with large assemblies.
The BWIR team also distributed a CD featuring their own technology designed to enhance the productivity of SolidWorks.
Commenting on the show, Jim Webb, vice president, BWIR, said, "The thousands of household and industrial products designed using 3-D engineering tools is growing at an incredible pace. The SolidWorks user conference was a great opportunity for BWIR to showcase their engineering skills and experience to SolidWorks users from around the globe."
