We are in the final weeks of SolidWorks 2011 beta testing and with the NDA lifted, the news is flooding in about new features to come. The quantity of posts on 2011 features seem to be down from previous years but the coverage is still there. SolidWorks 2011 launch site is live and video posts are going up on the SolidWorks blog regularly.
The CAD industry overall seems to be full of new product launches and technology advances, even some news on CAD on the Cloud. Deelip Mezenes talks to Jeff Ray, Matt Lombard stops blogging (for now), and 3dvia brings 3D to the iPad. Another busy month of tech news without any slowing in sight! ~Lou
