Sunday night at Solidworks World is the traditional kick off of events. It starts off at 5:30pm in the partner pavilion with the welcome reception. Tonight's event is one of the largest I have been too yet. Here are some pictures from tonight:
People were lining up before the official opening at 5:30
Here are some attendees checking out one of the scanners being demonstrated this year.
All work and no play makes for a dull time!
Solidworks on a Mac? Nah, just some pretty pictures on a nice looking monitor!
Touch interactive design reviews? The future is almost here.
How do you keep a few thousand people happy? Give them lots of free booze!
More games. This one gave you a shot at winning some great prizes from 3D Connexion! (Better luck next time Melinda!)
Is that the Hole Wizard? Actually it looks like his close cousin, the template wizard!
Next Engine is here as usual showing that they are a force to be reckoned with in the sub $2500 scanner market!
So thats it from what I will call Day .5 since tomorrow is the official first day of the conference. Check back in tomorrow for lots of updates throughout the day. Rumor has it that Solidworks will announce a user base that has grown to over 700,000 users world wide!


Man, I can't believe I'm missing out on a Template Wizard.
