Where are all the models?

[DesignerMike]

I just switched jobs, and I'm considering converting to Solidworks from Inventor. There are some awesome model sharing and code sharing sites for the Inventor people. ie

http://www.cbliss.com

many of the parts are iparts (or design parts) and I have downloaded hundreds if not thousands of models of common parts that I use every day.

SO, where do the solidworks people keep these parts and where is the best place to get some great tech help? (I know ....

I'm just running on an evaluation copy right now so I can't get into the discussion forum (autodesk leaves Inventor discussion open to anyone)

I'm trying to evaluate the piping package, and the help files and manual pretty much suck when it comes to the particulars and I'm still trying to get used to the clumsy mates, and 6 page hole wizard.

All this machinery making modern music can still be open-hearted.

Thanks for the list. Definately some great stuff there. I guess I wasn't very thorough in my searching, kindof low on patience lately.
