SW World News & SP1.0?

[sworks]

Hey guys. Anyone attending SW World with news on SP1.0 for 2005? With all the SW employees at world I would think that someone could give a timeline or heads up on the sp release?

Also, anything new and exciting going on down there? I wasn't fortunate enough to go this year so anyone with info onthe happenings, please do tell.

I'll have some as soon as I get back home. I will post them on my site when I get back. It's super down here!!!

As for SP1.0 - They are waiting for a fix from MS before they will release it - At least from what I have heard, I can't confirm that as of yet. As for a release date, rockguy is right it's suppose to be soon, but there is no set date. I'm sure however if they are waiting for MS to fix an SPR, then it's pretty important and is worth waiting for.

Best regards from all of us @ the SWWC2005,

Oh, I hate typos. Here's an image from SW World of the chopper.

The opening show was rocked with a surprise visit from the guys of the TV show “American Chopper”. The guys from Orange County Chopper are now new SolidWorks and COSMOSWorks users.

After a brief introduction, suddenly the room began to rumble to the sounds of open exhaust pipes. Appearing from the corner of the stage, was John McEleney on the new custom built SolidWorks OCC Chopper. We all knew within a little time, the OCC guys could adapt to the virtual modeling with SolidWorks. 3D models speed up the process of machining and the analytical tools assure that these machined parts are strong enough for the heaviest chopper riders.

Paul Sr., a wizard with new technology, demonstrated his understanding about the stress analysis on the rear trail arm. At first Paul was skeptical of the hard-tail design chosen for the SolidWorks Chopper, but after a simple analysis everything was OK. In his word's "Blue's good, red's bad" spoken like a true pro.

This was from my VAR that is at the conference.

SWX World 2005 was fun and it was good to see everyone. Burt Rutan was inspirational and he didnt even talk about CAD- which was very refreshing.

As a consumer product designer I was very happy to see that my particular niche would be courted with the same ferocity as AutoCAD and 2D users. I think that this will benefit everyone

FYI . . .

I was told (by Jeff Ray) that there will not be a TV episode on the SWx bike. Discovery channel charges $1 million for the product placement episodes. He also said that every company that has done this so far has had their servers go down due to the number of hits to their website after airing.

 

[rockguy]

The first question I asked the bike designer that stayed behind was, "when will it be on tv". He said the same thing. His value was $700,000 for an episode with your product specific bike. Either way it's just to much cash to justify. The tetul's have struck it rich.!

It was really cool having them show up at SWW with a bike. A major highlight of the confrence for me.
