Anna and Charles discuss which computer components are best for SolidWorks. Ever wonder if that expensive video card is worth it? Do you need 8GB of RAM, or 32? Are SSD’s reliable? All of these topics are discussed, and Anna and Charles focus on the underlying patterns so you can make purchasing decisions today, and well into the future.

Presented at SolidWorks World 2009, but still relevant today. I’ve updated some of the info to 2011 and Windows 7, but most is good as is.

Good first look at how to setup multi-user environment where everyone pulls standard info from a single location. Templates, Sheet Formats, Design Libraries, etc. Also have instructions on setting up and using Design Library Features which has very little documentation anywhere.

Custom Properties are covered in detail as they permeate across all facets of SolidWorks – Design, Drawings, PDM, Reporting, BOMs, etc.

If you have to have a Martha Stewart or Homer Simpson fix, I’ve got you covered there as well…
