WNC- ASHEVILLE SolidWorks USER GROUP
Meeting held January 8, 2009
As I am to be the “featured blogger” on Jeff Cox’s BLOG (http://wnc-swug.blogspot.com/) this week, I guess I’m going to go into much more detail of our meeting this past Thursday than I normally would if someone else had taken the notes!!
The meeting began as usual with general information concerning SW. About half of the group present is now on SW2009 (members present: 17 total w/ one VAR rep.). No problems were mentioned beyond those from our previous meeting. My grayed out “link to BOM” issue has been reported to SW and an SPR has been issued as of Fri., Jan 9th. We did intro’s all around and kicked off the technical portion of the meeting.
Rodney Hall was our presenter and did a great job giving us Administrative tips concerning hardware and software requirements, planning, support and maintenance, documentation and disaster recovery. While disaster recovery sounds pretty ominous, it doesn’t have to be if you are prepared with an Administrative image of SW. Rodney went on to show us how he has prepared his computers Administrative image to fully install SW with specific configurations for each workstation involved in a crisis and be up and running in a matter of minutes. Good stuff. Rodney has offered his PowerPoint presentation as a guide for any SWUG member wanting it. If you’re interested in this presentation and would like the PowerPoint please email me
We ended the meeting at 9:30 p.m.
Our next meeting is March 12th. The topic for that evening will be a report from SolidWorks World 2009 by Tom Wilson. Also, some tips and tricks from SW2009.
