I've been a member of the SolidWorks user community for many years. This blog is an extension of that community involvement and allows me to share what I hope is useful information with a wider audience of users. In compliance with the new FTC blogger guidelines and in an effort to have full transparency with my readers I need to post some full disclosure statements.

I am a member of the DS SolidWorks user group program as a group leader. I am not compensated for my user group involvement.

DS SolidWorks Corporation has paid for my travel, accommodations, and some meals for various user group events including SolidWorks World.

I am in occasional contact with employees at DS SolidWorks Corporation and am sometimes asked to provide feedback on new products or programs. I am not compensated for these efforts.

I provide occasional consulting services to DS SolidWorks Corporation, for which I receive compensation.

DS SolidWorks Corporation provides me with a license of SolidWorks Office Premium.
