I had a feeling my iGoogle RSS reader would be full of SolidWorks 2010 stuff this morning, and I was not disappointed:
As Josh over at Solidsmack calls it, it's SolidWorks 'riot week'. That's because the non-disclosure agreement between SolidWorks and people beta testing ends today. For the past couple of months, several thousand users around the world have been testing out SolidWorks 2010 and providing feedback to the developers here in Concord. That in turn has kept the developers on their toes fixing bugs, and making even more enhancements to the next release.
When the group of bloggers visited SolidWorks earlier this month, they had already been using SolidWorks 2010 for at least a month and a half so the questions they were able to ask were far more advanced then say someone who had just recently seen a demonstration of what's new. That's why reading the information these guys and gals will be going to put out over the next few weeks will be invaluable. It will be a review of the next release from a point of view that pretty much can only come from a blogger, that of someone who uses the software full time as part of their job. So stay tuned to the blogs for the next few weeks, it should be information overload.
And in keeping with my tradition of the past two releases I will also be putting up daily updates covering my favorite enhancements of the next release. Right now the list is just over 20 items, so let's call it the Top 20 Enhancements to SolidWorks 2010.
That's kinda my style too. I'll likely be focusing on drawings right now, but of course will be covering many different improvements. Dear lord there are a lot!
