Turns out that leaving New Orleans was even harder than I thought. Several SolidWorks employees and customers spent a few extra hours in the airport due to a "mechanical issue" with our plane. The delay wasn’t all bad as we got a chance to sit around and share some stories about SolidWorks.<\/p>\n
Rick Wilson of Perry Equipment Corp. told us how he had convinced his management to implement SolidWorks. He trained himself using a 60 day eval, and completed three projects that had stalled at his company. That was all it took to bring one new seat in-house initially. They bought several more when they realized that they could get the new seats of SolidWorks for the price of the maintenance on seats of "another" CAD program. <\/p>\n
Don Dorff of Beckman Coulter related a story about one experienced CAD user that was struggling with a particular project. The decision was made to re-start the project using SolidWorks. The engineer was sent to a SolidWorks training class, and returned a couple of days later ready and energized enough to complete it within a few weeks.<\/p>\n
