SolidWorks World Presentations Unleashed!
So many things going on today. People started receiving copies of my Surfacing book today, UG released a copy of Spaceclaim functionality on top of their parametric modelers, and now this!
Thanks to everybody who helped create a bit of a furor here, SolidWorks has relented, and has moved the SWW08 presentations to the Customer Portal. This still has a login, but I think anybody who is a SW customer can get a login. Go to the customer portal, and click on the SolidWorks World 2008 link in the Links panel to the lower left.
I am going to have to take the presentation files down, because in the last two days I have chewed through almost 80 gigs of data transfer, and my server limits me to 200.
I’ve received a few letters of congratulations for forcing the change, but it wasn’t me, it was all of us.
Remember a few months back we had the same effect on Documentation, when Jim Wilkinson agreed to take the Help in a new direction? That was a similar sort of victory. I raised an issue, you all said it was important, and SolidWorks listened. They are trying to make me eat my words about them not being a customer driven company. That’s fine with me. Those are words I would be happy to eat.
The SWW file download links seem be be buried on that web site link on the customer portal; can you indicate which icon/area allows the files to be downloaded?
Thanks.

Yeah, I thought I did. It is circled in red in the image at the top of the post. In the Links area on the left hand side, it says SolidWorks World 2008. You might have to click on the image to see it more clearly.
Thanks; I selected the SWW link under the community section of the portal by mistake.
