CATI-SolidWorks Tool-Room Series
Part 2: CAD translations, healing, repair
and CATIA
by Robert Konczal, CTO
This part of the Tool-Room Series deals
with the importing and exporting of 3D CAD data. SolidWorks by itself
has a very diverse and comprehensive set of tools to address reading
(importing) and writing (exporting) 2D and 3D CAD data. The Open and
Save As commands of SolidWorks gives you this functionality with ease of
use. However, what happens when the data is not clean or designed to a
sloppy tolerance? This is a common scenario that users will experience
if they receive data from systems that allow hybrid modeling techniques
(mixture of wireframe, surface and solids modeling functions). A quick
set of questions will determine if you need to read further.

2004 Looks Great (really!)
by Richard Werneth, President
At last month’s SolidWorks World 2004 in Boston, it was great to see
those of you that attended and catch up. So often it is easy to forget
that what truly makes things happen is sitting down with someone in
person, no matter how much technology is involved in the discussion.
This years’ conference was a bit less glamorous (and a little cooler)
than some past venues for the meeting but what struck me most was the
level of energy one felt at the event. It really was intangible and
difficult to put a finger on but the purposeful strides and energetic
conversations of those at the show was a clear message that things were
happening at the start of 2004. I left Boston very excited about the
prospects for the coming year and really valued the opportunity to sit
down with a lot of smart people and compare notes.
