SolidWorks Bill of Materials Tips & Tricks

This week Ian shares a few tips and tricks about making the most of SolidWorks Bills of Material functionality. Through the use of custom properties SolidWorks is able to read in the information of each of the components in the assembly and easily tabulate them in the 2D drawing.
Next week will be introducing Custom Property Tab Builder which will streamline your BOM process even more - stay tuned!

SolidWorks 2015 is coming!

I'm sure we are all eagerly awaiting the new release of SolidWorks 2015. I don't know about you but I am always impatient and curious for details when I know something is about to be released. I have already been teased with some possible new features and time reducing enhancements that I can't wait to see what this new release brings. Every year and every release the excitement is the same and this year is no difference! With a release date of 9th September there is not much longer to wait!

Those of you lucky enough to be using SolidWorks 2015 Beta Version feel free not spoil it for me, and those who haven't had the chance to test out the beta version I would recommend 2 things!
1. Head over to http://blogs.solidworks.com/solidworksblog/2014/08/sneak-peek-15-favorite-features-of-solidworks-2015.html (thanks Michael Lord for the heads up). This will give you a sneak peek of 15 favourite features, released daily, leading up to the launch date.
2. Register for CADspace What's New launch event that will be held in October (details and registration links to be released in early September). We will be going over a major chunk of new enhancements and features and it will be great to see you all there!

If you're interested in attending, drop me a quick line so I can personally tell you the details when they are arranged.
