This year, the last CSWP event (starting next year it will be CSWEs only) was held on the aircraft carrier USS Midway. It was a great environment for us engineers (especially those of us with an aerospace background), because we got to wander the ship on our own and explore the aircraft and ships’ systems on display.
Some of the many aircraft on the hangar deck and flight deck
The carrier’s “Island” structure
The interior hangar deck, and the flight simulators available to the attendees
Some of our new friends 🙂

SolidWorks World is full of fun events, new information, and learning opportunities. But we all you why you’re REALLY here. It’s all about the SolidSwag. Here’s my breakdown of the best freebies, goodies, and giveaways at this year’s conference.
1) DriveWorks Dancing Wind-Up Robot – Booth 324
2) SolidWorks Beer Coozie/Gauntlet – Booth 141
3) iGet It Wooden Puzzle – Booth 100
I just got out of the PhotoView360 focus group with Marlon Banta, Rob Rodriguez, and Todd Turner. A lot of good ideas were brought up, and I wanted to share just a few of them.
1) Add layers for weathering and damage.
Add a list of checkboxes to the property manager for every appearance, that allows you to add layers like rust, dirt, soot, etc.
2) Fix appearance flipping
Sometimes when you apply a dire tonal appearance (such as wood or brick) the appearance will look correct in the graphics window, but will be upside down and sideways when rendered. SolidWorks really needs to fix this.
