This was another busy month of news and along with 6 new editions to the SolidWorks Time Saving Tip series of videos, the month has been filled with new technology (iPad launch), an 85 SPR patch (SP3 EV) and the launch of the "Let's Go Design" web series.
The SolidWorks Blog has been busy with interviews, tips and other posts but the SolidWorks LABS site has been a bit slow. I was hoping to have more to report on at this point but really have not seen much news out of the R&D "think-tank" site lately. It was exciting, however, to see that Anna Wood and Josh Mings were interviewed so everyone out there in SolidWorks land can know these two community icons a little bit more personally.
I know in the next few months we are going to be heading into the busiest news time of the year with beta for SolidWorks 2011 just around the corner. Wondering what is coming? Don't forget the notes many of the bloggers put together on the features revealed. Hint: Ricky Jordan did a good job or you can scroll through the live blog I did on Day 3 at SolidWorks World 2010. ~Lou
